Through a questionnaire survey, this study employs a stratified systematic sampling method to select 406 （10%） households from three （3） major residential districts of Osogbo. Data are analyzed using descriptive statistics and one-way analysis of variance （ANOVA）. The study showed that 80% and 14.8% of the respondents live in contemporary vernacular houses, that is, the ＂face-me-i-face-you＂ house, and western apartment houses, respectively. Meanwhile 2.5%, 1.5%, and 1.2% of the respondents live in duplexes, single family houses, and traditional courtyard dwellings, respectively. This result suggests that in Osogbo, the Yoruba traditional courtyard house-type is gradually being replaced by the contemporary vernacular house and the western apartment house-type. Confirming the linear relationship and level of significance among the variables, the ANOVA Test F-value is 2.17 （where p〈0.05 probability level）, which indicates that house-type significantly affects the assessment of residential quality in Osogbo. The need for the government and others involved in housing delivep/to consider the appropriate house-types for and residential preferences of end-users within different sub-cultures when planning for future housing in Nigeria is highlighted.展开更多
