Column H10: Dwelling units

101. For purposes of this census, a dwelling unit is a structure, which a household uses for sleeping, eating, entertaining guests, etc. A dwelling unit may be a whole structure or part of a structure, especially in the urban setting.

(a) Record the number of dwelling units available to a household in H10.

(b)You may encounter situations whereby a dwelling unit is shared by more than one household. Make sure you probe carefully and tactfully to establish such a scenario and consequently mark an "X" in the smaller box in H 10 to indicate that the dwelling unit is shared. Do not assume that people sharing a dwelling unit belong to the same household.

(c) There are situations, especially in the rural areas whereby the kitchen is a stand-alone structure. Such a kitchen must be counted as a dwelling unit in its own right.
