Interviewer instructions

Q10 "How many years has [the respondent] lived continuously in the state of usual residence?"

You may refer back to the state and county mentioned in question 9, "How many years has [the respondent] lived in Wulu county in Lakes State?" for example.
Write the number of years of residence as of census night in the boxes provided and shade the corresponding digits.
If the person has lived in the state for less than one year, write code "00" and shade the corresponding digits.
If the person is a visitor and has no usual state of residence, write "99" and shade the corresponding digits.

Be sure to check the duration of residence with the age of a particular person. If a person's age was given or estimated as 32 and the respondent states that this person has been a resident of the state for 35 years, then you should stop and verify which answer is correct -- the person's age or their duration of residence. A person cannot live in a state longer than they have been alive.
