Do they live in houses or flats?

Do they live in towns or the countryside?

Well, 90% of the population live in towns.

These are semi-detachet houses- just two houses joined together. There are as many semi-detachet houses in Britain as terraced houses. Sixty per cent of the population live in terraced or semi - detached houses.

These are detached houses - - there aren't any other houses joined on to them. Some detached houses are very large but others can be quite small.
