Abstract

This study appraises the effect of housing condition on the health of residents in Ijeda- Ijesa and Iloko-Ijesa, Osun State. Primary data was acquired through structured questionnaires administered to 25% of the residents of the two villages adopting the “stratified-systematic” sampling method. Interviews were conducted for the major stakeholders in the study. Secondary data were sourced from the local government council office, journals, books, magazines, National Population Commission and the internet. Findings reveal that malaria was the most reported ailment followed by dysentery, typhoid and cholera respectively. Age of building was found to have significant relationship with the health of residents in Ijeda while the reverse was the case in Iloko. Significant relationship was found between building type and residents’ health in Iloko than Ijeda while occupancy ratio had effect on the health of residents of Ijeda. The study concludes that housing condition affects the health of the residents in the two villages at different levels. Recommendations were made for improving the situation.
