Dwellings Every structurally separate or independent building or premise that has been constructed, made, converted, or made available for accommodation (e.g., private house, rustic hut, shack, apartment, room in a tenement, inn, or tenement, etcetera). Moreover, are considered as dwellings those places that were not built for accommodation, but were used as a house during the Census Day (boat, railroad car, tent, etc).
Households A census household can be constituted of one person living alone or by a group of persons united by family ties. This includes servants who sleep in the dwelling, guests, and pensioners, only if not exceeding 5. A group of unrelated persons living together in a family-like atmosphere can be also considered as a census household.
Collective dwellings A group of unrelated persons who usually live in the same dwelling unit for reasons of accommodation, health, education, discipline, work, etc. This type [of group] is usually found in hotels, clinics, hospitals, school dormitories, barracks, private dwellings with more than five guests, etc.
