Question 2
"Dwelling occupied by people who are absent" . . . in this case you should fill in a questionnaire with the number of the dwelling, the address, record it in C2 (or C3) [The C2 is an urban summary sheet for a given census sector and the C3 is a rural summary sheet for a given census sector.], in "Observations" put "pending," and return at the end of the route and, if there is still no one home, leave form C10 [The C10 is a citation.]. [These instructions refer to a graphic of question 2a on the census form.]
If the dwelling is unoccupied, meaning that no one lives there, just as in the previous case, you fill in a questionnaire with the number of the dwelling, you fill in the "unoccupied" oval, and you continue to the next [dwelling], recording in "Observations" on the summary sheet that the dwelling is unoccupied. [These instructions refer to a graphic of question 2b on the census form.]
