Question 3



-- Number of rooms

This question is designed to find out the total number of rooms and the number of rooms used for sleeping.

Important: Bathrooms, washrooms, hallways, and kitchens are not counted in the total number of rooms, unless they are permanently used for sleeping.

[A graphic in the left margin illustrates an enumerator explaining what is not counted as a room]

Rooms in the dwelling used exclusively for professional, commercial, or industrial purposes are not counted in the total number of rooms. E.g. lawyer's office, office, hair salon, workshop, etc.

[p. 49]

In order to answer this question, the following concepts need to be explained:

Room:

A room is every compartment, room or area that forms part of the dwelling. Rooms are enclosed or separated by fixed walls and include living rooms, "recibos" [entryways], dining rooms, sleeping rooms, studies, recreation rooms, and service rooms.


-- When a room is divided by folding screens, screens, or partitions, it is considered to be one room and not separate rooms.
