In dwelling statistics two concepts of floor space of a dwelling are used:
- useful floor space, which is the floor space of dwellings measured inside the outer walls, excluding cellars, non-habitable attics and, in multi-dwelling houses, common areas;
- living floor space, which is the total area of rooms falling under the concept of rooms.
