Complete Plumbing Facilities

In question H10 on the 1990 census forms, we asked people to tell us if the house or apartment where they lived had complete plumbing facilities. You told us only 1 percent of all housing units in the United States lacked complete plumbing facilities; that is, they did not have hot and cold piped water, a flush toilet, and a bathtub or shower.

Complete Kitchen Facilities

In question H11, we asked people to tell us if their homes had complete kitchen facilities; that is, a sink with piped water, a range or cookstove, and a refrigerator.
