Interviewer instructions

The sixth population and fifth dwelling census is conducted on a national level, in both urban and rural areas. Urban area is understood to mean all of the municipal capitals [cabeceras municipales] where the civil, religious and military authorities are located; and those areas that have the following characteristics: a minimum of 500 contiguous dwellings; public lighting service; a primary school [centro educativo a nivel de educación básica]; regular transportation service; paved or cobbled streets; and public telephone service.

The rest of the municipality, made up of small towns and settlements [cantones y caseríos], is a rural area.
