- A terraced house is a house that shares walls with another house. A mansion
block is a large house that has been sub-divided into separate apartments.
Apartment in large building means domicile in building of less than 4 floors,
while high rise indicates 4 floors or more.
- Figures from Human Development Report 1992, UNDP except for Israel. Israeli
figure from Statistical Abstract of Israel 1991.
- All indexes are to some degree arbitrary since any one index can be constructed
in a range of different manners producing different results. The same is
applicable to all the indexes used in this report. However, it should be
noted that the various housing indexes are constructed to be descriptive
rather than based on a fixed statistical distribution. The indexes are constructed
from a series of items or facilities and the index indicates the actual
distribution of these items among Palestinian households.

Study, Government of the Netherlands, 1991.
- The construction of this index is somewhat complex since each facility,
including bathroom, toilet, kitchen and heating, was graduated according
to the quality of the amenity. However, a good score means that the household
has all of these facilities at an acceptable standard, while a poor score
indicates that the family has only one or less.

- Kressel, op. cit.
- It should be noted that official CBS statistics are not necessarily compatible
since the items measured may be somewhat different.
- The observations in Arab Jerusalem are small, therefore, margins of error
are correspondingly large.
