Housing plays a crucial role in the lives of individuals within any society. House ownership has traditionally been highly valued, seen as essential for family stability and wealth creation. The quality of housing, including access to basic amenities like water, sanitation, electricity, and more, is a significant indicator of a country's socio-economic development. Housing with basic necessities is a fundamental factor in economic, social, and civic progress, with various housing-related activities directly contributing to broader development objectives. When individuals and families do not have adequate housing with better characteristics, their well-being is severely affected. Inadequate housing can lead to poor health outcomes, placing a strain on the healthcare system. This study utilizes a descriptive research design, analyzing secondary data from the National Family Health Surveys (N.F.H.S) 1 to 5, to explore housing characteristics patterns in India and its states.
