ANALYSIS:

HOUSING CONDITION

RURAL

Amenities such as access to electricity, a clean water supply, quality of cooking fuels
are major factors in determining the quality of life for each and every citizen.

Trend of Housing & Household Amenities in Odisha 2001-2011

Access to services like rural electrification has been expanding greatly and there is a slow
progress in the case of water supply as well as in the case of sanitation.

Results suggest that the total composite score for housing and household amenities ranges
from -3.02 to 5.66, with the least developing district being Debagarh and the developed
district being Khordha.

From the analysis it is observed that all rural, urban and total housing and household
amenities in Odisha basically show a similar trend.

The coastal districts of the state such as Khordha, Jagatsinghpur, Kendrapada, etc are on the
higher side, whereas the western and north eastern districts show a lower trend respectively.

The western and south eastern districts show high spatial patterns whereas medium in the
central eastern, western northern and southern and low in south western and north eastern
