"How did housing statistics go from a description of housing estates in 1936 to a measure of residents’ intimacy in 1962? By retracing the genealogy of the “overcrowded housing” category, this paper seeks to demonstrate that the quantification of intimacy arose from the importation of juridical norms; these norms, in the context of census findings, could establish an equivalence between housing situations that until then had been considered incomparable."
