Interviewer instructions
<svar a="all" v="MX95A030"><span class="em">1.2 Roofs</span><br /><br />This question finds the principal material with which the roof of the dwelling is built.<br /><br />[graphic of the question from the census form]<br /><br />The question has six options in its classification; circle the code that corresponds to the declared material.<br /><br />Here also the options of the materials appear from lesser to better quality.<br /><br />When a roof is made of different materials, register the one that predominates. If the amount of these materials is equal, then write down the one of lesser quality. So when one material is declared that can be classified in two options, mark the lesser quality. For example, if you have doubt <span class="pg">[p. 65]</span> about how to classify a dwelling with pieces of wood, include it in the option "Waste material", which corresponds to the lesser quality.<br /><br />Also in some zones of the country, they may know the materials of the options by other terms, or they may name a material that does not appear. In those cases, circle the similar option according to the nature and quality. For example, "guano" or "zacate" and other similar materials can be registered under the option "Palm, tile strips or wood." If at the moment of the interview you do not know which material of the list is similar to what is declared, write it down in observations and later investigate what is similar and mark the corresponding option.<br /><br />When the informant has doubts, read the answer options.<br /></svar>
