The survey question that was put forward to the representative sample was
‘Does the house that you currently live in belong to you/a member of your family or do you live on rent?’
In response, 77% said that it is personal, meaning that they or a family member owns the house they currently live in, and 22% said that they are living on rent. 1% said that they did not know or did not wish to respond.
The survey was carried out on a sample of 1178 men and women across urban and rural areas in all four provinces of the country during 23 Feb - 23 March 2019.
