[Talk-us] building=house vs building=detached

[Saikrishna Arcot]

Hi all,

What the difference between building=house and building=detached? My 
understanding is that a house that has two addresses (and two familes) would be 
considered as building=house, whereas if there is only one address and one 
family, then it is building=detached.

Interesting. I think this might be one of those UK centric ones. According
to the wiki, you're correct. However here in the USA, I think many people,
especially new ones, would draw their house on OSM, and then tag it with
house on iD. Here a house is the place where a person or family resides.
Sometimes they're attached, other times they're detached.
