- Post-Apocalypse War - built after 2104[2]
- Con-Apts - lower-level higher-quality apartment blocks[2]
- Crockblocks - inhabited by old age citizens[2]
A 2124 method categorised blocks as:
- Cityblock - most common, similar in size and capacity[3]

- Low rise - usually low quality of living[3]
- Pre-Atomic - among oldest blocks and have survived multiple wars, though not without damage[3]
- Slum - usually pre-Atomic but have barely been maintained. In addition to their pre-existing population, used to house problem cases by Housing Department[3]
