General Census of Population and Housing 1982

[Pages 1-14 were not translated into English]

[P. 15]

4. Basic definitions

4.1 Census household: a group of people, relatives or not, who occupy all or part of a dwelling; they eat from a common pot, that is to say, they share the principle meals and together attend to other basic necessities. As an exception, a household constituting a single person should also be considered a Census Household.

This picture is an example of a typical census household:

[A drawing of several people in a home is omitted here.]

4.2 Dwelling: For the purposes of the census: dwelling is every location or building (composed of one room or a group of rooms) structurally separate and independent, meant to lodge one or more households.

A location that has not been earmarked for the lodging of persons, but that is occupied as a place of habitation by a census household at the moment of the taking of the census, is also considered a dwelling.

"Separate" means a dwelling which is encircled by walls and covered by a roof, and which permits one person or a group of persons to isolate themselves from others that form part of the community.

"Independent" is when one has direct access to the dwelling from the street by way of stairs, a hallway, passage, etc., or by way of a path, road (in the case of a rural dwelling). That is to say, when the occupants can enter and exit their dwelling without crossing through rooms occupied by persons who are not part of the household.

Following is a drawn representation of the concept of separate and independent.

[A drawing depicting the layout of a household is omitted here.]

[P. 16]

According to this drawing, how many dwellings exist?

If we follow the definition of dwelling, there are 2; that of household "A" and that of household "B." Both have the characteristics of separate and independent, because they are encircled by walls and their occupants do not have to pass through rooms occupied by other people in order to exit and enter the dwelling.

Household "C" is not considered a dwelling because it does not have the characteristic of independence; in order to exit or enter, the occupants have to pass through the living room of Household "B."

In conclusion, there are two dwellings, one which lodges Household "A" and the other which lodges Households "B" and "C."

4.3. Private dwellings. A dwelling which is meant to serve as lodging for one or more census households.

4.4 Group quarters. A special lodging location, in which the occupants are subject to administrative norms and obligated to follow group norms. For example: a hotel, a hospital, a prison, a boarding school, etc.
