Interviewer instructions

Information about the Dwelling

Question 1 Classification of housing units:

Mark box 1 when it is a private house (including shacks) or an apartment or room(s) in a block of tenements with any occupants present at the moment of the Census.

[The instructions refer to a graphic of box 1 of question 1 on the census form.]

Mark box 2 when it is a private house or an apartment or room(s) in a block of tenements without any occupant present at the moment of the Census. It can be without occupants because it is for sale, for rent, being repaired, etc, or because its occupants are absent seasonally (summer houses).

[The instructions refer to a graphic of box 2 of question 1 of the census form.]

Mark box 3 when you have to enumerate persons who live in a doorway, a vessel, a tent, or live in a temporarily arranged enclosure in a building under construction or in a public building. In other words, always mark box 3 when you have to enumerate persons who use, as their living space, a location or space not meant specifically to be lived in.
