al Beda, a quarter in Marj Najeh, Zbeidat and Frush Bet
Dajan, over a tenth in both Bardala and ‘Ain Shibli and 3% in
Jiftlik, are rented. It is quite common for these houses to
be rented from the Israeli Department of Absentee Property.
Household Density
If we look at the household density, we find that the most
common number of rooms per accommodation is one, with almost
half of ail households having a one room accommodation (see
Table 84). This is much higher than the general pattern for
the West Bank as a whole, where only 15% of households have
only one room.(10) Only 15% of houses in the region have 3 or
more rooms which compares very poorly with the aggregate
official figures for the West Bank as a whole. These show
that, in 1983. 53% of West Bank households had three or more
rooms per house. (11)
Overcrowding is an endemic problem with an average household
living density of 4 persons per room. This of course varies
from village to village, but overcrowding is particularly
marked among the squatting population of Jiftlik. Only in
Marj Najeh and Zbeidat is overcrowding not a serious problem.
Overcrowding is a serious social and health problem since it
exacerbates the incidence of communicable diseases and puts
great social and psychological pressures on members of the
household who do not have privacy to carry out sexual and
toilet activities. The housing density figures in the Valley
are double the density figures for the West Bank as a whole
