* Correction factor should be applied to the number of non-prefabricated dwellings (843 355). It should be borne in mind that unlike prefabricated houses not all non-prefabricated residential houses are standard refurbishment repairable. The total number of dwellings in non-prefabricated residential houses was reduced to 609 302.
