What Is a Housing Unit?
A housing unit is a single unit within a larger housing structure where a person or household can use it for eating, sleeping, and living. The unit can be in any housing form, such as a house, apartment, mobile home, or even a single unit in a room party.
Essentially, a housing unit is known as a separate living quarter in which the inhabitants live and eat separately from other tenants of the building or structure. They also have direct access from the exterior of the building or via a specific corridor.
Understanding Housing Units
Housing units are residential units which are located in various types of structures. Other systems include residential homes, apartment buildings, and condo buildings.
Sometimes, there can be several rooms in a large structure like a hotel or motel. These units allow a person or family to live separately from others, which is why they are often called separate living quarters. In addition to the above case, the occupants may have direct access to their own units via a common doorway and/or hallway.

In the Indian polity federal structure, issues related to housing and urban development have been delegated to the state governments by the Indian Constitution.
