Interviewer instructions
- Section A: Information regarding all persons. This information is contained in columns P00 to P23. Questions in this section will apply to all persons.




25.6 Column P14: Usual member of household

"Usual residence" for purposes of 2009 census is defined as the place at which the person lives at the time of the census, and has been there for some time or intends to stay there for some time. Most of the people to be enumerated during the census have not moved for some time and thus categorizing them as "usual residents" should be clear.

Ask: "Is [the respondent] a usual member of this household?" A usual member of a household is one who spends most of his/her time in the household. However, that person must be answerable to the household head, shares cooking arrangements with the rest and lives in the same house or compound or dwelling unit. If the answer is yes, code "1", if the listed person is not a "usual" member, then code "2" for No in the appropriate box. Usual residents may be citizens or not and may include refugees. Foreigners who have been in the country for a period of at least 6 months should be considered usual residents. Persons who have been absent from the household for most of the last 12 months should be excluded. A threshold of 6 months will be applied. If a person has lived continuously for most of the last 12 months, i.e. at least 6 months, not including temporary absences, or intends to live for at least six months at the place of enumeration then this is a usual member of the household. This also applies to newborns or those who have come to stay indefinitely. Exceptions include children who are in schools and live in the households.
