The poor people though have houses built out in the rural areas. These homes are then often made out of mud bricks that are reinforced with bamboo, the roofs are thatched, but some are metal. Also the houses have unpaved floors. However, very few homes are painted. The homes are also have either chairs or benches in them. The rural population in Sierra Leone is 3,614,402.2, but the people who live rural that are poor is 2,837,305.7.= ||< =Houses in Pittsburgh vary from very nice houses to the average every day home. The average homes are 3 or 4 stories tall, but very skinny. The houses are also built very close together because there is not much space near the city. Those homes are older because they are where a lot of the homes were built when the city was created. The nicer homes though are out more in the rural areas. Those homes are only ranch style homes or 2 story. They are also much nicer and newer. Pittsburgh leads the whole nation with the highest percentage of home-owners who own their homes free and clear.= ||
