single-family attached, single-family detached, duplex, three-decker, four-flat, bungalow court... and those are just the small types. "Apartment house" can be anything from a 3-unit one-story building to a highrise with hundreds of units and anything in-bewteen. So, the number of housing types would depend on who's doing the counting. The US Census Bureau, the US Dept of Housing and Urban Development, and the National Multi-Housing Council (representing the real estate industry) are some major players who make it their business to think about these things. I would search their websites for more info.
