Interviewer instructions
B. Dwelling


It is any housing fixed or mobile that has been built or adapted for housing persons. A house, apartment, trailer, tenant room, shack, hospital, and a room are all considered dwellings.



3. Type of Dwelling: The characteristics that correspond to each type of dwelling mentioned in the questionnaire are the following:
House: A construction with an independent exit to a public street, which generally constitutes a single dwelling unit.

Apartment: A room or group of rooms that within a building constitute a single dwelling, occupying only a part of it.

In an apartment building, each one of them constitutes a dwelling unit. The "flat" is a special case in which an apartment occupies a whole floor of a building.

[The instructions refer to a graphic of the census form.]

Tenant room: Tenant is a dwelling where 4 or more census homes are lodged. Each one of them occupies one or more rooms, lacking hygienic facilities and or kitchen of exclusive use. Each room or group of rooms occupied by a census home, should be considered an independent dwelling.
