Interviewer instructions
<span class="h3">7.3.2 Rooms Utilized</span></p>

<p>The following questions have the objective of knowing the number of rooms of the dwelling that the members of the household use for residential purposes, which will permit us to calculate the level of crowding.</p>

<p>A room is considered to be any space within the dwelling that is closed by walls or bricks of a height not less than 2 meters and has sufficient surface area to fit an adult bed.</p>

<p>What is the total number of rooms utilized in this dwelling, without considering bathrooms and kitchens?</p>

<p>Rooms of the dwelling are considered the bedrooms, dining rooms, living rooms, sitting rooms, service personnel rooms, and the other separated spaces in the dwelling, used to house people.</p>

<p>Rooms of the dwelling are not considered the bathrooms, hallways, kitchens, and garages (if they are only used for these purposes), nor the rooms utilized habitually for non-residential purposes (for example, the room used exclusively as a dressing room, stockroom, or storage room).</p>

<p>In the cases of the dwellings shared by more than one household, only those used exclusively by the household that is being interviewed are counted.</p>

<p>How many rooms in this dwelling are used for sleeping?</p>

<p>You must include here the bedrooms, guestrooms, and all those rooms that are normally used for sleeping, even when they have a different purpose during the day (living room, dining room, pantry, etc.).</p>

<p>Consider exclusively the rooms that are used for sleeping by the household that is being interviewed.
