Dwellings by dwelling type and governorate (2022)
<p>Number of dwellings with a focus on Ar Riyadh Region, Ar Diriyah and Ar Riyadh governorates compared to the other governorates of Ar Riyadh Region, the other governorates in the Kingdom, and the Kingdom as a whole in the year 2022.</p><p>1.Methodology</p><p>Data are taken from Gastat and aggregated at three levels:</p><ul><li>The Administrative Region,</li><li>The Governorate,</li><li>The City.</li></ul><p>The City level is not represented, as data is always aggregated at most to the Governorate level. This is due to the heterogeneity of availability of the information at the City level. Further, this dataset presents a breakdown for Ar Riyadh and Ad Diriyah at the governorate level. Similarly, a breakdown exists at the Regional level, distinguishing Ar Riaydh and the other Regions. This presentation highlights the importance of Riyadh at both the governorate and region levels in the Kingdom.</p><p>At the Administrative Region level,</p><ul><li>For Ar-Riyadh Region, aggregation is provided at the Governorate Region for Ad Diriyah, Ar Riyadh, and the remaining governorates of Ar Riyadh Region combined under the label “Others (not Diri. And Riy.).</li><li>For the regions other than Ar Riyadh Region, all governorates are aggregated together,</li><li>Finally, the aggregate for the KSA "Total (KSA Govs.)" is provided in full for Ad Diriyah, Ar Riyadh, and all governorates other than Ad Diriyah and Ar Riyadh "Others (not Diri. and Riy.)", for all governorates in the Kingdom excluding Ar Riyadh Regions' governorates "Total (Govs. not Ar Riyadh Region)".</li></ul><p>2.Definition(s)</p><ul><li>A dwelling is defined as a single -or multi-room unit (within a building or part of a building) primarily intended for one household. It is characterised by having one or more separate entrances or doors, and may be occupied by a household, unoccupied, used for business, used as a public house, or under construction. A dwelling may accommodate one or more households, one or more businesses, or a combination of both. Every inhabited building is counted as a dwelling, even if not originally designed for that purpose (e.g. shops, workshops, schools, etc.). The types of residences include villas, traditional houses, and apartments.

Every administrative region has a designated capital city. </li><li>Governorate: The second level of administrative division within the Kingdom. Each region is subdivided into several governorates, varying in number from one region to another. Governorates are further divided into centres that report administratively to the governorate or emirate. For example, Al-Kharj Governorate within the Riyadh Region.</li></ul><p>3.Detailed breakdown</p><ul><li>Region code: An identifier of the Region, not official (visible only in the downloadable version of the dataset).</li><li>Region: The first level of administrative division within the Kingdom. After aggregation, ‘Ar Riaydh’, ‘Others (not Ar Riyadh Region)’ (aggregating every case where region is not Riyadh), Total (KSA Regions) (aggregating all regions) remains.</li><li>Governorate: The second level of administrative division within the Kingdom. After aggregation, Ad Diriyah, Ar Riyadh (as a Governorate) and Others (not Diri. and Riy.) (for all the other governorates in Ar Riyadh Region) remains. The three together are forming Ar Riyadh Region. Outside Ar Riyadh Region, all governorates in a given Region have been aggregated, providing a sub-total which is finally collected in Total (Govs. not Ar Riyadh Region). Finally, Total (KSA Govs.) aggregating all governorates within the Kingdom.</li><li>Dwelling type: Residential, public housing, commercial, work camp, and other</li><li>Comments: The Open Data Team comments on the metadata published</li></ul>DsetIdx: >>191.
