Household and housing characteristics from Rwanda's Population and Housing Census (PHC), covering the 4th edition (RPHC4, 2012) and 5th edition (RPHC5, 2022). Eight topics are extracted: roof material, wall material, floor material, type of toilet facility, electricity grid connection, main source of lighting energy, main source of cooking energy, and main source of drinking water. For 2022, data is available at national and province level with urban/rural breakdown. For 2012, only national/urban/rural totals are available (no province breakdown in the RPHC4 housing thematic tables). Source files are the official housing thematic Excel workbooks: RPHC4 in legacy XLS format (RPHC_2012_Tables_Housing.xls, 624 KB) and RPHC5 in XLSX format (Housing_and_Households_Characteristics_Thematic_Report.xlsx, 1.01 MB). Both are direct static downloads from the NISR portal with no authentication required. The next census is expected around 2032.
