Interviewer instructions
Question 1
-- Dwelling type
This question identifies the type of family dwelling or collective where the enumerated person normally lives. The following categories are used for this question:
Types of Family Dwellings:
-- House or Quinta [house with garden]
-- Apartment in a building, house, or quinta
-- Room in a house, quinta, or apartment
-- Room in a tenement
-- Peasant hut (rural type) (Rancho campesino)
-- Urban hut (rancho urbano)
-- Other class
In order to answer this question, the following concepts need to be explained:
A. Family dwelling
Any building or premises used, or meant to be used, as a separate and independent domicile or place of abode for one or more families or other group of persons, related or not, but living together in a family-like system or, in exceptional cases, a person who lives alone at the time of the census.
House or quinta [house with garden]
An independent and unique structure, usually with various rooms or areas, that is permanent in character and has exclusive toilet facilities. Usually constructed of resistant materials such as: cinder block, brick, stone, adobe, concrete, sawn wood, and bamboo and mud (bahareque) (when plastered).
This type of structure can be inhabited by more than one family or part of the house can also be used as a place of work (e.g. beauty salon, medical office, hardware store, store, etc.).
[p. 44]
Apartment in a building, house, or quinta
A place made up of one or more rooms located in a structure of a building, house, or quinta, equipped with its own toilet services and kitchen. It has access from the exterior or from a common area of circulation.
Room in a house, quinta, or apartment
The room or area used as a separate family dwelling, possibly equipped with its own toilet services, but generally without a kitchen.
Usually does not have direct access from the exterior, rather through the principal entrance of the dwelling.
These are enumerated only when occupied.
Room in a tenement
This is a room used as a family dwelling in which toilet facilities and water storage is usually found outside of the room and is for common use. It does not have direct access from the exterior, rather through an internal hallway or a common circulation area.
A tenement is a place of abode that contains various family dwellings, each one constituted by one single room called a "room in a tenement". Generally these are found in towns and cities.
Rustic dwelling (Peasant shack (rancho))
This is a structure with a straw or palm roof; bamboo and mud (bahareque), straw, and palm walls; and a dirt floor. It is still considered a rancho even if a part of the roof or floor has been improved. This type of dwelling usually exists in rural areas and in certain villages.
Urban shack [improvised]
This is a family dwelling generally built by the occupants with discarded/waste materials (planks, cardboard, tin, etc.) and usually without toilet facilities. This type of dwelling is usually built on hills, gullies/ravines, underneath bridges, or in other places in so-called marginal neighborhoods and in precarious conditions of inhabitability.
[p. 45]
Other type of dwelling
This is any kind of shelter not constructed as a dwelling that is being used for this purpose at the time of the census: trailers, wagons, railcars, caves, tents, caneyes (rudimentary dwelling roofed with palm trees), boats/vessels, or other similar shelters used temporarily or permanently.
Also included in this category are workplaces (industrial, commercial, etc.). E.g.: the place used by a guard who normally lives at the place of work.
