Question 6 Type:

Mark box 1 if the dwelling to be enumerated is a private house or in other words, if it contains a single dwelling (chalet, shack, house of clay-covered plant fiber (quincha), etc.). At times, the private house has one or more rooms used for purposes distinct from living quarters. For example, the private house that a family occupies but at the same time has a room that is used as a sewing room, office, store, etc.

[To the right of the text is a picture of a private house with the words "Private house" and box 1 above it.]

[p.29]

Mark box 2 if it is an apartment that is to say if the dwelling occupies part of a building and has toilet facilities and a bathroom for private use.

[The instructions refer to a graphic of box 2 of question 6 of the census form.]

Mark box 3 if the dwelling constitutes a room or rooms in a block of tenements, in other words, that which occupies part of a building and has neither toilet facilities nor a private bathroom. The occupants of these dwellings share the use of toilet facilities and bathroom.
