RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN POPULATION AND HOUSES

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN POPULATION AND AVAILABLE NUMBER OF HOUSES

Relationship between population and available number of houses. Population is the number of people who live in a particular area. When the population of a particular area increases from what it used to be, then there will be the need to provide more amenities, such as electricity, water, schools, wide roads, and houses.

Definitely, if the number of people residing in a particular area increases, there will be the need to provide more houses, because the ones available will not be adequate.

 

Why everybody does not own a house

There are several reasons why people do not have houses of their own. Some of those reasons are as follows:

1 The cost of building materials is too high.

2 The cost of land is very high in the towns. More houses are needed in towns than in villages, but the price of land is too high for most people. In parts of Lagos and Abuja, for example, a piece of land sells for a very large amount of  money.

3 It is difficult to get loans from banks and other finance houses.

4 The cost of labour for building a house is very high. Labourers and other workers demand a lot of money per day.

5 It takes too long and costs too much to get a Certificate of Occupancy (C of O), or right to occupy the land from the government. The certificate makes the land on which the house is built a legal property.
