indicating that the housing condition has improved

also illustrates variations in the status of housing
between rural and urban in different administrative
divisions. As expected, higher proportion of
households lives in kutcha and jhupri houses in the
rural areas than in urban areas.
5.1.2 Among the administrative divisions,
presence of kutcha and jhupri houses is more
evident in Barisal (87.6 per cent) and Rangpur
(82.3 per cent) divisions compared to Khulna
(59 per cent) and Dhaka (62.2 per cent), where
they are much low in use. Sub-district (upazila)
distribution of households living in kutcha and
Jhupri structures is presented in Map 5.1. Finally,
Tables 5.1 and 5.2 give a snapshot of the five best
and worst performing districts by proportion of
households living in pucca and kutcha housing
respectively.
