3.8 Migration
Migration is to move from one place, or locality to another due to any reason. In Census 2023 the
migration has been captured as Intra provincial migration and Inter provincial migration.
Intra provincial migration is the movement of people from one geographic area to another
within the same province or territory. The district or city of birth within the province is different from
her/his district/city of enumeration within the province.
Inter provincial migration is the movement of people from one province or territory to another
within a country
The migration in Table 3.17 is calculated for the person whose district of birth is different from
current district of residence.

The above table reveals that total migration in Islamabad is 47.40% which is high in urban areas with
48.31% as compared to rural areas with 46.64%. Inter migration i.e. migration from other
province/district is 45.92%, slightly higher in urban areas i.e. 46.20%, as compared to rural areas i.e.
45.68 (Figure 3.14).
Islamabad is a single entity district and intra migration is that mostly from other districts, in this
case intra migration is not possible.

Analyses of migration by age groups shows that the migration in the age group 25 -40 is highest with
30.80% followed by 41-60 age group with 25.22% and 15-24 age group with 18.12%. Remaining groups
have less concentration of migrated population Figure 3.1 6. The age group 25 -40 years is the group of
young population where the reason for migration of population is due to job/ business and marriage.

4 HOUSING CHARACTERISTICS A total of fourteen (14) main questions were asked in the Census-2023 to collect and assess the housing characteristics of the district. The questions ranged from tenure of the housing unit to the number of family members living abroad (who stayed abroad for six months or more). The main focus was on assessing the type of housing units, type of material used in construction and the type of housing facilities available in the housing unit. This part of the District Census Report has been divided into two sections namely: Type of Housing Units which constitutes information such as level of congestion, nature of tenure, period of construction of owned housing units, construction material used for construction of walls & roofs while the second part comprises of Availability of Housing Facilities, including information on sources of drinking water, lighting, fuel used for cooking, availability of kitchen, bathroom and Toilet facility. 4.1 Type of Structures The sustainable housing and infrastructure development is the concern, before taking a step towards contributing to this sector. It is important for everyone to be aware of different types of buildings, their structure types and geographical location. Every constructor, be it an individual building a new home or a builder developing a vertical city, needs to have the proper information to be able to build in compliance with government regulations. As Census is a complete count of all structures and population of country, therefore, to capture the different variations in structure as per changing ground realities. PBS with the consultation of all stakeholders and recommendations of technical committees, included the question regarding the type of structure with different variations along with identification of 23 diffe rent types of entities i.e. houses, hospital, shops. The type of structures has been included first time in Census -2023. Following the categories that were included to determine the structure. HOUSING CHARACTERISTICS

Population & Housing Census-2023
There are main four categories to determine the type of structure i.e. normal structures, multistory structure, Jughi/ jhompri and under construction where normal and multistory are sub categories as “residential”, “economic” and “residential and economic”. The below figure shows the percentages of all categories from the total 416,897 housing structures. The sub categories of normal structures i.e. residential with 80.96%, economic with 7.54% and residential and economic with 3.27% are higher than rest of the type of structures. In multistory structures the multistory residentiaries 0.51% out of total housing structures. The category Jughi/Jhompri/Tent/Cave contribute 0.65% and under construction is 6.56%.
Table 4.1 shows the percentages of normal structures reported with 91.77% and High Rise/ Multistory structure are reported as 3.97% out of total type of structures. Table 4.1 also shows the percentages of sub- categories of normal and multistory from its main category. The normal structures with predominantly residential within it with 88.22%, similarly High Rise/ Multistory structure with predominantly residential within it with 50.21%.

4.2 Type of Housing Units
4.2.1 Level of Congestion - Persons and Rooms
According to the Census-2023, there are 0.41 million housing units in ICT as against 0.33 million
enumerated in Census-2017, showing an increase of 23.74% during the intercensal period of 2017-2023.
The distribution of housing units by rural and urban areas is 54.99% and 45.01%, respectively as shown
in Table 4.2.
Level of congestion indicates the number of persons and rooms per housing unit which is
reflective of the crowding and tight living conditions of a population. It also helps to assess the overall
requirement of housing units that can ultimately be used for future housing planning and policy
formulation at micro and macro level.
The average household size has decreased from 5.90 persons in Census-2017 to 5.52 persons
reported in Census-2023.
Table 4.2: Indices of Level of Congestion in Housing Units by Rural/Urban, Census-2017 and 2023
The percentage of single room houses has decreased from 10.88% in Census-2017 to 8.10% in Census-
2023. This change is particularly notable in urban areas, where overcrowding in one-room units has been
a significant issue. The percentage of housing units with two to four rooms has increased from 71.49%
in Census-2017 to 77.06% in Census-2023, whereas housing units with five and more rooms has
decreased to 17.63% in 2023 as compared to 14.83% in Census-2017. The increase in 2 to 4 depends on
