Interviewer instructions

Question 9: Total number of rooms

This question has been written to determine the total number of rooms or bedrooms that the dwelling has.

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

Room: Area separated from others by fixed walls, or permanent separations or differentiated by levels.

Total number of rooms: Include rooms such as: living room, dining room, kitchen, bedrooms, TV room, study, library.

Exclude corridors, bathrooms, laundry/storage room (cuarto de pilas), inner patio, terraces and garages; also rooms that are used exclusively for professional, commercial, industrial or service purposes: lawyer's office, doctor's office, store, bazaar, local store, beauty salon, etc.

Remember:

In the country or in rural areas, it is possible that the kitchen is a construction separate from the rest of the dwelling. In this case, take it as part of it and write it down as one more room.

The total amount cannot be less that the number written down in the previous question (bedrooms).
