Interviewer instructions
Indicate the order of the residents in the following manner:

1. Head of household. A member of the Household, man or woman, who the other members of the household consider to be the head. This may be for reasons of dependence, relationship, age, authority, or respect. If no member of the Household is considered the head then choose the oldest.

2. Wife (or partner). The person who lives in a state of matrimony with the Head of Household, whether or not they are legally married.

3. Unmarried children (from oldest to youngest). The unmarried persons who are legitimate, natural, adopted, and recognized children of the Head of Household.

4. Married children and their families. Children of the Head of Household, married or in union, who share the dwelling and do not constitute an independent household.

5. Other relatives of the head of household. These can be parents, siblings, aunts/uncles, mother/father in-law, etc.

6. Non-relatives. Those who normally sleep in the dwelling of the Head of household, such as guests, friends, and employees. This excludes domestic employees who have a separate classification.

[p. 59]

Important: In the case of a dwelling made up entirely of persons not related to each other, the person considered to be the "head" is written down as such and the other residents are considered "non-relatives".

Also:

1. Those born before the 21st of October are included.

2. Those that passed away before the 21st of October are not included.

3. Those that passed away on the 21st of October or later are included.

4. Those born on the 21st of October and later are not included.
