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

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. -- Saikrishna Arcot

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.
