Interviewer instructions
Questions 3 to 15 are only asked at dwellings with occupants present (Circle 1).




Explanations with respect to questions 6 and 7:
These two questions, unlike the rest of the section, refer to the building where the dwelling is, that is to say that in the cases in which apartments or tenement houses are being enumerated, the questions refer to the apartment building or the tenement house where the dwelling is located.




Question No. 7: What is the predominant material in the roof of the building or house?

This question is asked to know what is the predominant material with which the roofs of the dwellings are constructed.
It refers to the material of which the largest part of the roof of the building or house where the dwelling is located is made. If you are enumerating a building or apartment house or rooms of a tenement house, this question relates to the roof of the building or house.
