Question 1: Dwelling type

This question will permit us to distinguish the number of individual and collective dwellings of the country and group them in different types, depending on their characteristics.

Observe and mark with an "X" the corresponding circle.

In individual dwelling the following categories are distinguished:

[To the right of the text is a form.]

[p. 36]

Independent house: is one that has a direct entrance to the street or land and constitutes a single dwelling. Here dwellings with a second story are included.

[Below the text is a picture of a house.]

Shack: Premises constructed with waste materials: cardboard, planks, old tin, cloth, etc. Generally it is built with the purpose of responding to an immediate need for lodging.

[Below the text is a picture of a hovel.]

In building: Dwellings (apartments or condominiums) that form part of a building of two or more floors, it can be a dwelling that has been converted to apartments.

It has an independent entrance through a hall, stairs or other common space.

[Below the text is a picture of an apartment building.]

Other: Any other type of individual building like mobile ones: ships, trucks, camping tents, etc., or temporary: premises designed for dwelling in buildings that originally were not made for lodging persons, such as houses within mechanics workshops, wine stores, stables, factories, garages, guard houses, etc.

[Below the text is a picture of a garage.]

The category homeless deals with those persons who do not have premises to be quartered in, such as those who sleep outside of churches, commercial establishments, abandoned buildings or under bridges but without having built a hovel. In these cases mark the corresponding circle with "X".

For the collective dwellings mark with "X" option number 6 and write down the name of the institution, organization or place. If in your segment you find a collective dwelling with many usual residents, like a jail, tell your supervisor so that there is another person who enumerates these persons.

Keep in mind that:

If you mark any of the categories without dwelling or collective dwelling, you should continue with the population characteristics, without filling out the rest of the dwelling questions.
