A dwelling, also known as a residence, abode or domicile, is a self-contained unit of accommodation, such as a house, apartment, mobile home, houseboat, recreational vehicle or other substantial structure, used as a home by one or more households. The cited article notes that the concept of a dwelling has significance in relation to search and seizure, conveyancing of real property, burglary, trespass and land-use planning. In the atlas it names the general residential building type, the buildings that people live in, which are not otherwise described as houses, villas, mansions or palaces. Buildings recorded in the atlas as residential buildings are grouped under this concept.
