Among types of private dwellings are the following:<br />[Each of the 8 categories below is accompanied by a drawing which corresponds to the description.]<br /><div class="i1">1. <span class="ital">Detached House</span>. A detached house is a building which has an exit leading directly to the street, road, etc. and constitutes a single dwelling.<br />2. <span class="ital">Apartment in a Building</span>. An apartment in a building is part of a building of 2 or more floors and has access to public spaces through a hallway, open-air passageway [<span class="lang">corredor</span>], stairway, and/or elevator. It includes dwellings on the first floor of the building with direct access to the street.<br />3. <span class="ital">Attached Independent Units </span>[<span class="lang">vivienda en quinta</span>]. These units are part of a complex [<span class="lang">conjunto de viviendas</span>] of one or two floors. The units are grouped around an open patio and have independent water and sewer service.<br />4. <span class="ital">Dwelling in a tenement</span> [<span class="lang">vivienda en casa de vecindad, solar</span>]<span class="ital">, units grouped along a blind alley</span> [<span class="lang">callejón</span>]<span class="ital">, or shanties built on a vacant lot</span> [<span class="lang">corralón</span>]. A tenement is made up of buildings grouped around a patio or open-air passage. The buildings generally have shared water and/or sewer service<br />5. <span class="ital">Shack or cabin</span>.

This is any independent shelter or construction, built as a temporary construction with lightweight materials: woven straw or reeds [<span class="lang">estera</span>], beaten bamboo [<span class="lang">caña chancada</span>], waste materials (cardboard, plastic, etc.), layered bricks, or adobe.

This category includes dwellings located in stables, barns, factories, warehouses, commercial buildings or offices, etc. This is an exception to the general rule.<br />8. <span class="ital">Other</span>. This is a resource that is not intended for human habitation but which, on the day of the census, is being used for habitation. Examples are: caves, abandoned vehicles, or other natural shelters. This is an exception to the general rule.<br />This includes any type of lodging which can be transported, such as a tent, camper, etc., or a housing unit which can be moved, such as a boat, a yacht, a trailer, etc., and which was being used as permanent housing for one or more persons on the day of the census.</div><br /><span class="em">Collective Dwelling</span>: A collective dwelling is intended for habitation by persons, usually without family ties, who are subject to administrative rules and who live together for reasons of education, health, religion, work, or tourism, among others.
