Regional comparisons by materials of the building are strongly influenced by the type of occupied housing stock (family houses versus apartment buildings) and the period of its main construction. The Capital City of Prague occupies a very specific position, with the highest proportion of occupied houses built of wall panels (11.6%) among the regions as of 26 March 2021, and, on the contrary, the relatively lowest proportion of occupied houses made of stone, bricks and blocks (81.4%), wood (0.9%) and unburnt bricks (0.1%). Stone, bricks and blocks were the most widespread material in the Vysočina region (93.4%), while wooden houses were relatively most common in the Liberecký region (4.0%) and occupied houses made of unburnt bricks in Olomoucký region (5.2%).
By a wide margin, the highest proportion of occupied houses with a connection to the sewage disposal system was in the Capital City of Prague (93.4%). At the other end of the ranking were the Moravskoslezský and Liberecký regions, where less than half of occupied houses (where the sewage disposal could be determined) had a connection to the public sewage disposal system. Moravskoslezský region was the only region in Czechia where more occupied houses were equipped with a cesspit or septic tank (47.9%) than to public sewage system (46.4%) in the 2021 Census. Houses in Liberecký region (8.7%) and the Královéhradecký region (7.1%) were relatively more likely to have their private sewage disposal plant. A positive finding is the fact that the proportion of houses with no sewage disposal system in all regions was less than 1% of all occupied houses with an identified sewage disposal system.
The availability of lift facilities in individual regions is closely related to the type of the housing stock. Therefore, the highest number and share of occupied houses equipped with a lift was clearly in the Capital City of Prague (17.5%) with an above-average representation of apartment buildings. According to the 2021 Census, 28.8% of all occupied houses with a lift in Czechia were located there. The Karlovarský region (4.7%) and the Ústecký region (4.6%) also recorded a higher level of lift equipment. By contrast, in Středočeský region, with a significant preva-lence of family houses, only 1.1% of occupied houses (for which it was possible to obtain this data) were equipped with a lift.
The regional comparison according to the number of floors is greatly influenced by the type of occupied housing stock (family houses versus apartment buildings). Therefore, the Capital City of Prague is in an exceptional position due to the above-average representation of apartment buildings, which in 2021 had by far the lowest proportion of one-floor (12.9%) and two-floor (43.6%) houses of all regions, but on the contrary, relatively the highest proportion of houses with three or more floors (43.5%). Occupied houses with two floors were relatively most common in the Liberecký region (63.1%). One-floor houses were most common in the Jihomoravský region with 44.5%, which had the second lowest proportion of two-floor houses (45.5%).

The share of occupied houses with piped gas ranged between 47.1% in Jihočeský region and 88.5% in the Capital City of Prague. This share reached notably below-average also in Liberecký (50.5%), Královehradecký (54.3%) and Středočeský (55.0%) regions, while the second highest share of occupied houses with piped gas was recorded in Jihomoravský region (84.6%). The share of occupied houses with piped gas from a gas supply network in particular regions was very similar with the highest share again in Prague (88.1%) and the lowest in Jihočeský region (45.4%). In no region was the share of occupied houses with piped water lower than 99.5%. The share of occupied houses with piped water from a water supply network ranged between 71.2% in Plzeňský region and 95.7% in the Capital City of Prague. The private water source was most frequently used in occupied houses in Plzeňský region (20.6%), on the contrary it was the least often in occupied houses in Prague (0.8%). The most occupied houses with piped water both from a water supply network and from a private water source were located in Středočeský and Olomoucký regions (both 9.7%). On the other hand, this share was the lowest in Karlovarský region (2.7%).
