Questions and instructions

Literal question
List of all dwellings in building

Here, all dwellings in the building are to be listed. Vacant or part time occupied dwellings are only to be included if they have their own kitchen or kitchenette.

As vacant dwellings are those dwellings to be counted which are habitable, have a kitchen or kitchenette, are vacant at the time of the census, but are offered for rent or sale. Such category includes single family houses which are vacant.

Second homes/dwellings (occupied dwellings without inhabitants = BWOB) include vacation and weekend apartments and houses which are used by the owners themselves or are rented for short periods, but are not used for permanent occupation.

As second home are considered also those dwellings which have kitchens or kitchenettes and which are not occupied by their owners at census time (e.g. mountain- and valley-, city- and country homes or because of stays in foreign countries or hospitals) as well as dwellings which are rented out already for later occupancy and are unoccupied at the time of the census.

Floor number: lower level = U; ground floor/1st floor = P; 2nd floor = 1; 3rd floor = 2; etc. Several floors, e.g. P/1, 1/2, P/1/2; single family house = E.
