A latest government report reveals that almost 210 thousand people call subdivided flats their homes in Hong Kong (Source: http://www.info.gov.hk/gia/general/201801/18/P2018011800590.htm). A normal flat, originally fitted with one kitchen and toilet, is reconfigured into a handful or a dozen of subdivided flats. Each subdivided flat is a self-contained mini flat with own kitchen and toilet.
This reconfigured flat has 4 self-contained subdivided flats; each of which can house a family of two or up to five. An average monthly rent is about HKD 8,000 (about USD 1,000 or 733 British pounds).
Tennants are so diverse that some of them are ‘grassroots’ or some are even middle management.
Housing is a deadlock in Hong Kong that hardly disappears overnight. Sad but true, subdivided flats arguably are an antidote that helps people cannot afford to buy or rent a full flat.
在香港，約有21萬人居住在劏房。《2016年中期人口統計主題性報告：居於分間樓宇單位人士》(Source: http://www.info.gov.hk/gia/general/201801/18/P2018011800590.htm) 這個房子約五百尺，可以分為四個獨立單位、有獨立廚厠。可容納二人甚至五人家庭。每個單位月租約8千港元。租客範圍很廣，從低收入人仕到管理楷層都有。
香港居住問題從來沒有辦法根治，劏房可以説是一個無可奈何的一個解決方案。
