Population and Housing Census 1991
Questionnaire
INE
National Institute of Statistics
Since 1778, the year in which our country carried out its first Census that collected individual information about all the people, there have been periodical enumerations of housing units and persons, which have enabled us to carry out various population projects, by anticipating future needs in the areas of education, sanitation, public assistance, and housing, among other topics.
This Census of 1991, in which we request your collaboration, takes into account the information needed by the State, Autonomous regions, and municipal governments. Your personal information will be protected by statistical confidentiality, according to Article 13 of the Public Statistics Function Law.
To guarantee the success of this Census, it is necessary that all persons collaborate in this enterprise, that answers be accurate, and that the data be provided in the time required. A Census Agent, properly accredited, will go to your dwelling to collect the census data.
Thank you for your assistance.

Population and Housing Census 1991
Reference date March 1, 1991
Criteria for determining which persons should be enumerated.
Who should be enumerated?
- All persons who usually live in this housing unit, including those who were temporarily absent from the municipality on Friday, March 1, 1991 (residents, present and absent).
- All persons who spent the night from Thursday, February, 28 to Friday, March 1, in this housing unit, but whose usual residence is in another municipality (temporary residents).
- In specific cases, be sure to:
Exclude babies born after midnight, Friday, March 1.
Include those who died after midnight on Friday, March 1.
Using the following order, complete the table that follows these instructions:
- Person number [] 1 (householder)
- Household members (both those currently present and those temporarily absent) who are related to the householder (spouse or partner, children, sons-in-law, daughters-in law, grandchildren, parents and other relatives).
- Household members (both those currently present and those temporarily absent) who are not related to the householder (domestic servants, guests, roommates, etc.).
- Finally, persons who (whether or not related to the householder) spent the night of February 28 in the housing unit, but whose usual residence is in another municipality.
Normally all the persons who live in the housing unit should be listed in this table. However, when there are different groups in the housing unit who do not share any type of expenses [i.e., separate households], you should list only one of these groups [households] on this form and request more questionnaires from the Census Agent, listing each group [household] on a separate questionnaire.
Line number / Name / Last Names
Person number 1 (householder) ___ / ___
Person number [2 - 15] ___ / ___
Instructions for completing the following pages.
1. Each questionnaire has space for information about six persons, at maximum. If there are more than six persons in the Table on page 2, request more questionnaires from the Census Agent; in such a case, correct the numbering of person records in the second questionnaire and in subsequent questionnaires, as follows:
Person number _ 1 [number 1 crossed out, number 7 written above the 1]
Person number _ 2 [number 2 crossed out, number 8 written above the 2]
2. Do not forget to complete the housing questions on the last page. If you use more than one questionnaire for a housing unit, write the answers to the housing questions on only the first questionnaire.
3.- For questions with several options as answers, mark the correct answer by placing an [ X ] in the box in front of the appropriate answer.
- When the question calls for a number as an answer, write the correct number in the corresponding box, found to the right, as follows: _ 8.
- When you need to write the name of a province, municipality, or country, or when a description is requested [i.e., when the question is open-ended], always write in capital letters, using one space for each letter and separating the words with one blank space, as follows:
S A N T A _ C R U Z _ _
D E _ T E N E R I F E _ _
- If there is not enough space for the answer, be sure to use common abbreviations.
- Note that, for countries, you should use the country's current name.
4. On the following pages, first write, on the column headers and in the same order as in the table [on page 2], the first name and the last names of each person present. For the rest of the questionnaire, write the information about each person in the appropriate column.
5. If you need help completing the questionnaire, request help from the Census Agent or ask for help by calling the toll-free number: 900-112511
6. After you have completed the questionnaire, the Census Agent will stop by your home to pick it up.

Current schooling
Schooling is understood to mean studies which follow an established program, have a minimum duration of three months, and are associated with an official public or private educational institution, even if enrollment is open, or even if studies are undertaken via distance learning or correspondence courses.
First, describe the person's current level of school attendance (for example: 2nd grade of EGB; 5th of medicine, etc.). If the person is simultaneously enrolled in various courses of study, indicate only the one that the person considers his or her primary course of study. [Translator's note: EGB, educación general básica, refers to basic general education.]
Then, with an X, mark the option that corresponds to the school attendance specified. In the previous examples, this would be as follows: 2 X EGB (1st to 5th levels); 11 X Studies in University 6 Faculties or Colleges (1st and 2nd level).
Notes for clarification:
-Option 2 includes adult education at this level.
-Option 3 includes special education provided for persons with disabilities or learning difficulties.

-Option 15 includes Higher Military education, Naval education, tourism, physical education, ..., and any other course of study that does not have a separate classification in a separate category and that requires a BUP, COU, baccalaureate degree, or post high school technical training. [BUP, or Bachillerato Unificado y Polivalente, refers to integrated upper secondary education, a 3-year course of university-preparatory education for 14 to 17 year old students, which also prepares students for employment. COU, or Curso de Orientación Universitaria, refers to a one-year college preparatory program.]
