Interviewer instructions
4.2 You should classify each dwelling in one of the categories 1 through 7 (first page of form number 1). The following explanations about each category clarify for you the idea of dwelling in certain special cases.
4.2.1 Category 2. Independent Room(s) rented or sublet or lent to individuals. Certain dwellings have an independent annex (i.e., with direct access to the outside or common areas of the building, without having to cross premises occupied by other persons). This is the case, for example, of dwellings which have a maid's room located on a different floor (which is common in the Paris metropolitan area). If the owner of the principal dwelling has such an annex for himself (to house a member of the family, a servant, etc.), a separate housing form should not be filled out for the annex. If, however, the annex is rented, sublet or lent to individuals, you must fill out a separate form by checking off box 2 in the lodging category and adding the name of the owner of the principal dwelling (this information may allow the main dwelling and its annex to be considered as a separate dwelling for certain uses of the census).
The rooms classified in category 2 must always be attached to a main dwelling, with which they normally make a single grouping.
4.2.2 Category 3. Furnished room in a hotel or furnished house [garni]. Some clients of these establishments reside there most of the year (for example, students who live most of the school year in a hotel room); others don't have another residence (example: single people who live permanently in a hotel, young married couples who have not yet found other lodging).
In such cases, begin a housing form number 1 for each room (or possibly apartment) occupied by one household, or one person living alone. Check off box number 3 of the dwelling category, and box number 6 for question 4 (page 4).
Category 3 of dwelling should be used only for furnished rooms or apartments in hotels, inns, family- run boarding houses, (building type 4, question number 1 on the building form). In particular, it should not be used for students living in university housing or student hostels, nor should it be used for young workers living in residence hostels [foyers] (see the bottom of the first page of form number 3, and § 6.2, below.)
4.2.3 Category 4. Temporary Construction Used for Habitation. This category will of course be used for all lodging in a type 3 building (question number 1 of the housing form). Additionally, you can use it in the exceptional case where only part of a building (type 1, 5 or 6) is of a temporary nature (if you come across such a case, describe it completely).
4.2.4 Category 5. Make- shift housing. This category will of course be used for all type of lodging of a type 3 building (question 1 of the building form). Also classify in this category an improvised shelter in premises unfit for human habitation (cellar, attic, barn, shop, workshop, etc.) located inside of an ordinary building; indicate fully the nature of the premises.
4.2.5 Category 1. Ordinary dwelling. This category includes all ordinary dwellings (with the exception of those special cases enumerated in categories 2 through 5) provided that they are occupied as the "principal residence."
If someone has several residences, the principal residence is the one where he/she spends most of the year.
[p.20]
4.2.6. Category 7. Secondary residence. This category includes all ordinary dwellings used as secondary residences. Typical examples include: country homes, villas, vacation housing, etc. Furnished apartments or lodgings, rented or for rent during the tourist season in resort areas, will also be included in this category.
4.2.7 Category 6. Vacant dwelling. This category includes ordinary vacant dwellings, i.e., they are unoccupied as either a principal or secondary residence. Normally such lodging is available for sale or rent, but not necessarily. For example, box number 6 is checked off for recently- completed new housing which is already allotted [attribué], but not yet occupied by the renter or owner.
