Chapter B Housing Census

General Information

50. The enumerator is to record the dwelling in his section according to the List-frame of edifices and buildings (Form O-1) given by his head of the section. The housing census is to take place during the 8-14 of March (see paragraph 65).

I. Basic definitions useful for the Housing Census

51. Edifice: is an ensemble of buildings or off-hand structures built on the same independent plot, having access to the street, regardless of the number of the plot legal owners (e.g. a block of flats). Consequently, an edifice may include one, two or more buildings, e.g. a farm with the storehouse and stables on the same plot, a factory with many buildings built on the same plot etc.

52. Building: is every permanent and independent structure having walls and roof, composed of one or more rooms or other space (i.e. of area more than 4 m2).
As a rule, buildings are having four (4) walls. But as a building is also considered a permanent structure that may be open in one or two sides as long as it is roofed (e.g. car workshop).

53. Dwelling: is, in general, a place distinct and independent from construction, built or converted in order to be used for housing, or if it were not intended for housing, it was used so during the census taking.

[p. 18]

Places intended for housing, but used during the census taking on the whole for other purposes and not housing, are not to be considered as dwellings.

Consequently, as a dwelling is considered:

a) An occupied or vacant dwelling, flat, room or series of rooms.
b) An occupied hut, shed, rovers' wagon, boat, tent, hotel etc.
c) A storehouse, mill, cave or any other roofed place used for housing during the census taking.

The basic element of a dwelling is its "distinct and independent" characteristic. A space is considered "distinct" if it is surrounded by walls, fences etc. and is covered by a roof, so that the individual or group of persons may be isolated from other persons in order to sleep or prepare and have his meals or be protected from the elements.

A space is considered "independent" if it has a direct entrance from the street, or a common staircase, a passage or arcade, when the inhabitants may come and go without having to go through the space occupied by another household.

54. Dwellings are distinguished as regular, non-regular and collective ones.

55. Regular dwelling: is considered the permanent and independent structure, composed of one regular room at least and intended to be used as a residence of a household.

56. Regular room: is considered the space inside the building that is 2m high and of area 4m2 at least and of shape allowing for a regular bed. In this respect, regular bedrooms, dining rooms, drawing-rooms, habitable basements and attics, servants' rooms, kitchens and other separate spaces used or intended for housing are considered as rooms.

[p. 19]

Corridors, verandas and halls are not considered as rooms. (* Halls that commune (lighted and aired directly from the outside grounds) and satisfy the conditions of a regular room are considered in exemption as rooms).

Spaces intended for laundries, baths, storerooms and toilets are not considered as rooms even if are of area more than 4 sq.m.

57. Non-regular dwellings: the following cases of dwellings are to be included in the census only if they were found to be inhabited during the census taking.

a) Other spaces intended for housing: are considered the structures constructed with off-hand and cheap material, such as huts, sheds, booths, without any preconceived design, in order to be inhabited by a household
b) Other spaces not intended for housing: are considered spaces like stables, barns, mills, garages, storehouses, offices, shops and basements that are not regular dwellings, nor were constructed or converted as such, but were inhabited during the census taking by one or more households.
In this category, the caves that were inhabited during the census taking are included.
c) Mobile home: is a type of lodging whose transport is possible due to its construction (caravan or tent) or it is a mobile unit (ship, yacht, boat, barge or rover's wagon), intended for housing.
Gypsy encampments are included in this category.

58. Collective dwellings: in this category the hotels (a), collective residences (b) and temporary quarters (c) are included.

[Pages 19-20, omitted, detailed definitions of a, b and c].

[p. 21 and top of p. 22 omitted]

[p. 22]

IV. The dwellings to be enumerated

62. Dwellings to be included in the census:

a) All types of regular dwellings, e.g. houses, flats, one bedroom flats, farms etc. either occupied or vacant.
b) The non-regular dwellings as long as they are inhabited during the census taking, e.g. shop, shed, hut, booths, caravan, tent, basements that are not regular dwellings etc.

The before mentioned regular or non-regular dwellings are to be enumerated even if they are not included in the List-Frame, and the enumerator has to insert them in the list according to the given instructions (paragraph 61).

63. Dwellings not to be included in the census:

a) Uninhabited ruined regular dwellings.
b) Old regular dwellings which are uninhabited now or in the future due to their condition.
c) Regular dwellings that are under construction on the 15th of March 1981 and are uninhabited and their construction is not on its final stages.
d) Other spaces intended for housing and are uninhabited (see paragraph 57).
e) Other spaces not intended for housing and are uninhabited (see paragraph 57).
f) Dwellings constructed for housing but are used on the whole for other purposes e.g. flats that are used as offices, workshops etc.
g) Collective dwellings, such as hotels, hospitals, prisons etc.
[p.23]

64. Specialists will enumerate the dwellings:

a) Of foreign diplomats and the members of their staff in cooperation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

V. On how the housing census form is to be completed
(Page 1 of Form P-1)

65. Information on the housing census will be recorded in the first page of the Form P-1. For each dwelling a different Form P-1 is to be completed. The data on the housing census refers to the 15th of March, the day of the census taking.

The collection of the housing data will take place during 8th to 14th of March so as to make easier the enumerators' task.

The enumerator has to visit again the dwellings on the 15th of March for the population census, and to check whether the housing data inserted is in accordance with that of the 15th of March (e.g. regular dwelling inhabited on the 10th of March might be vacant on the 15th of March or visa versa).

[Bottom of p. 23 and page 24 omitted]

[p.25]

A. Housing Data


68. Question 1, Type of dwelling
[Omitted, question 1 is repeated]
The definitions of each type of dwelling are given in paragraphs 53-58.


[Bottom of p. 25 and top of p. 26 omitted]

[p.26]

69. Question 2, Characteristics of regular dwelling

[Omitted, question 2 is repeated]

Occupied regular dwellings

In case 1 of regular occupied dwellings only the main residences will be recorded.

As main residence is considered that where the household resides for the main part of the year and is located as a rule close to the work place of its members.

The main residence is occupied:

a) If on Saturday night to Sunday 14th to 15th of March 1981 were sleeping in it one or more persons and
b) If the residence is occupied in general and its inhabitants did not sleep in it on Saturday night to Sunday 14th to 15th of March, because they were temporarily absent (e.g. on vacation, professional trip, party, night work, illness etc.).


In the cases where the household is using two or more residences for the same more or less period of time, as a main residence is considered the one that they reside during winter and the rest are to be considered as vacation or secondary residences.

[p.27]

In cases where these residences are used at the same time by a multi-member or well-off household and are close are to be considered as a single main residence (e.g. two flats in the same block or two separate dwellings in a single plot used by a single household).

70. In case 2, the answer for vacation or secondary occupied dwellings is to be recorded.

Vacation residence is the regular dwelling located usually far from the main residence of the household (on a mountain, near the sea, etc.) and is used for relaxation during summertime or at intervals during all seasons.

Secondary residence is considered the dwelling that is used at the same time with the main residence and is not a vacation one.

The main types of secondary residences are:
a) Dwelling close to the work place of the household, used continually all year, or at periods or at seasons by a member or members of the household along with the main residence (e.g. businessman's residence close to his business, farm, stock farmer's residence far from the locality of his main residence, summer residence of nomad stock farmer etc.).
b) Residence used by a household or member of the household at a certain period instead of their main residence, e.g. Athens residence of a household having its main residence in the country.


The vacation or secondary residences are considered as occupied if on Saturday night to Sunday 14th to 15th of March 1981 one or more persons were spending the night in them.

Vacant regular dwellings

71. For the vacant dwellings an answer is to be recorded in cases 3 and 4 of question 2.

Vacant is considered the dwelling that was uninhabited during the census taking because:
a) Is intended to let or for sale.
b) The owner immigrated or settled elsewhere.

[p. 28]

c) It is a new building in the stages of finishing or it is repaired and
d) It is used at certain periods as vacation or secondary residence (and there were not any persons spending the night on Saturday the 14th to 15th of March in it).


72. To let or for sale is considered the dwelling that is for these reasons vacant on the day of census taking.

Inhabited dwellings on the day of the census taking but that are soon to be inhabited by other people and are advertised as to be let or sale are to be considered as occupied.

73-74. [Omitted]

In this case there must always be an answer since it is not possible to be a regular dwelling without at least one (1) regular room.
[Omitted, the definition of a regular room is repeated].

If the dwelling has only one regular room that serves at the same time for all needs of the household, i.e. for sleeping, dining etc. this room is to be recorded in this case and in the Question 3 it must be noted that there is no kitchen. If kitchens are regular rooms they are not to be included in the number of regular rooms recorded in question 2, but they must be recorded on the number of rooms of the household in part B of Form P-1 (DATA Pertaining to the Householder).

[p. 29]

These rooms must not used at the same time or at are periods for the needs of the household (e.g. for sleeping, dining, or as drawing room, etc,), but only for professional purposes.

Regular rooms are considered to be used exclusively for professional purposes if there is in operation a workshop producing, repairing or assembling goods or it is a services shop (e.g. hairdressing etc.) or they are offices of professionals (of lawyers, engineers, doctors etc.), or where goods are stored or materials needed by the professional.

B. Data pertaining to the householder

85. Data is to be completed for all occupied dwellings, regular and non-regular.

[Bottom of p. 34 and top of p. 35 omitted]

[p. 35]

If the occupied dwelling is non-regular i.e. shed, hut, tent, note "-" at the number of rooms.

When a regular dwelling has only one regular room that is used by two households, this room is to be accounted for the more populous household. If the households are of the same number, the room is to be accounted for the household that owns or rents it and "-" is to be recorded for the other household.

If two adjacent dwellings are used by one household, e.g. two dwellings on the same site or bedrooms and a separate kitchen in the courtyard, a usual case in the country, one dwelling form is to be completed (see paragraph 69), where all the amenities and other relevant data are to be recorded.

[p. 38]
C. Household data

I. Basic Definitions

88. [Omitted, the purpose of the definitions]

I. Household

89. As household is considered

a. Two or more individuals residing together, providing commonly for the essentials of their livelihood, eating as a rule together (multiple person household). This multiple household may be composed only of relations, or only of unrelated individuals or, finally, of a combination of both cases. In this category boarders are included but not renters.

b. Every individual that is residing on its own in a separate dwelling or is residing with other individuals in the same dwelling but is unrelated to them, i.e. does not eat with them so as to be considered as a member of their household (single person household).

90. In the household are included as well

a. Boarders that are eating with the other members of the household and using all its amenities.

b. Servants that are eating with the other members of the household, reside in the same dwelling and are dependent on the household.

[p. 39]

91. Members of the household are considered the relations of the householder that reside in the same dwelling even if because of their work are not eating every day with the other members of the household.

92. The individuals that are not related to the householder but reside in the same dwelling are considered as members of the household if the eat at least once in a week with the other members of the household.

93. In the household are not included

a. Renters that even though have rented part of the same dwelling of another household are not eating with this other household.

b. Domestics who although are eating with the household are residing outside its dwelling, i.e. are not residing in the same dwelling.

94. House guests for a short period of time in a household are considered as temporarily house guests and not as members of the household.

If in a household there are more than 5 boarders, it is considered that a boarding house is in operation, and its boarders are considered as separate single person households if they are single - or multiple person households- if they are families.

95. According to the above, the household is not always identical to the commonly defined as a family.

Basically, the household is comprised by individuals that reside together, provide commonly for their livelihood and eat as rule together. A family is comprised by individuals that are related. For instance, a pupil residing in another city for his studies is a member of his family but not a member of the household. The householder working away from his family even if he does visit on the week-ends, is a member of the family but not of the household. The householder and pupil are a different household because according to its definition they do not reside and eat with the other members of the household.

96. According to the above a household is

[p. 40]

a. A single person residing on his own in a dwelling or a room, as long as he is providing for his meals even if he eats in a restaurant.
b. A couple.
c. A family, e.g. parents and their children.
d. A family living with one or both the parents of their respective spouses, and probably with the servant.
e. A family where one or at the most five pupils are residing as boarders.
f. Two or more -five at the most- students or workers that are renting a flat or a room as long as they are commonly providing for their meals.

97. Nonmember of a household is considered

a. The child of the householder that resides in another city because of his studies, either as a boarder of another household or renter of a flat or room.
b. The householder or some other member of the family which because of his work is residing in another city all the working days even if he comes back to his family on Sundays and bank holidays.
c. The children of the householder or some other member of the household serving (conscript) in the Army.
d. Family members that are studying or working abroad.
2. Householder

98. For the census purposes every household must have a householder.
Householder is the individual that is a member of the household and is recognized as head by all the other members. In most cases, where the household is comprised by the parents and the unmarried children, the father is considered as the householder. Many a times as well, where married children are still residing with their parents, they consider their father as the head.

99. If the household is comprised by unrelated persons, as householder is considered the economically active man or woman, i.e. the one that works for profit. If on the other hand, everyone is working or not, as householder is considered the older man or woman.

[p. 41]

3. Present on the census day members and nonmembers of the household

100. Present on the census day members and nonmembers of the household are considered all the individuals that spent the night of Saturday to Sunday, 14th to 15th of March 1981 in the respective dwelling.

101. Members of the household temporarily absent are considered the individuals that are members of the household, but during the census taking happened to be absent -for a short period of time- either from the dwelling of their household or their residence e.g. for tourism, professional reasons, hospitalization, detention etc.

102. The individuals that are imprisoned and those that are hospitalized for a long period in Sanatoriums, Psychiatric hospitals, Asylums etc. are not considered as temporarily absent.

103. Temporarily absent, in exemption, are considered sailors and fishermen working in ships that are traveling independently of the period of their absence.

5. Temporarily present individuals in the household

104. Temporarily present individuals in the household are considered the temporarily house guests, members of another household that were found in the household on the night of Saturday to Sunday, 14th to 15th of March.

105. Temporarily present individuals in the household are considered as well the head or other member of the family that reside in another city because of their studies or work and during the week-end (14-15/3) came back to their family.

[Omitted, question 11 as in the form]

178. The enumerated is to be considered (by the Enumerator) as working at the day of the census taking if he has a job that provides his or/and the household's livelihood. That is, that the individual is working in order to:

-profit, as in case of a businessman
-pay, i.e. salary, a day's wages, contract work etc.
or finally,
-assist in the family business or agricultural land without pay (apart from his livelihood).


179. The respondent's work during the census taking may be seasonal so that he may be not working that certain period as in the case of a farmer whose work covers a period of 8 months or a manager of a hotel that is closed during the winter months. [p. 58] These individuals are to be considered as working although due to the nature of their jobs were not working at the time of the census taking.

180. As working are to be considered all individuals having a job as was defined in paragraph 178 but during the census taking were not working due to leave, sickness, accident, weather conditions, strike etc. or just started working (employed a few days before the census taking).

181. The individual assisting in the family business without pay (salary or day's wages) is to be considered as working if he is systematically working i.e. daily (except bank holidays) and at least of 1/3 of the business's usual operating time. If the member of the family is working on the agricultural land in order to be considered as working he will have to be working full time for a period of more than three months per year or more than 90 days of work a year.

But the member of the family working in the family or agricultural land occasionally and for less time that the before mentioned is not to be considered as working and on occasion that is active in the household (household activities).

182. Individuals which even the day before the census taking stopped or lost their work e.g. someone who on Friday the 13th March 1981 got his pension or were dismissed from the shop he were working are not to be considered as working.

Finally, those serving in the Army either as conscripts (draftees) or reserves are to be considered as conscripts and not working even if they were working before their conscription and are to go back when dismissed.

In contrast, all permanent personnel of the armed forces either officers or non-commissioned officers or soldiers are considered as working.

[p. 59]

183. The enumerated is to be considered as job seeker (by the Enumerator) if during the census taking is not working and is seeking work, i.e. taking initiatives towards that end.

In this category are included:
a) Individuals that lost their work for any reason (such as an individual who was dismissed or left his work because the working conditions were unprofitable or unhealthy, or his business was closed etc.) and are seeking work.
b) Individuals seeking work for the first time e.g. having just finished school, or their studies or professional training and are seeking work for the first time.


184. In the cases of job seekers the enumerator apart from the fact that they are not working has to find out that they are not only intended to seek work but are making certain efforts to do so and specially for the individuals of case (b).

185. If the respondent is not working or seeking work (as defined before) on the day of the census taking then will be considered as:

[p. 60]


186. If the respondent is working or seeking work then he has to answer the following questions:

[Omitted, a), b) and c) as in the form]

187. The type of work he is or was doing the last time he worked must be very clear so as to be coded according to the occupational codes.

If his answer is general or vague, e.g. "technician", "employee" or "merchant" or "public servant", more questions are needed so as to clarify e.g. "what kind of technician', "what kind of employee", "what kind of trade, whole sale or retail" etc.

[Bottom of p. 60 and p. 61 omitted]

[p. 62]

190. Question (b) "what is the type of establishment, enterprise, agricultural land, service etc. he works (or was the last time he worked)" refers to the type of economic activity (industry branch) of the establishment, enterprise etc. the enumerated is working or if he is seeking work to the establishment, enterprise etc. he was working last. If seeking work for the first time as before "young" will be recorded.

191. The answer to this question must not be general or vague as e.g. "shop" or "factory" or "company" but must clarify the economic activity of the establishment or service he is working (or was working last). [Examples omitted]

[p. 63 omitted]

[p. 64]

194. Question (c) "occupational status" the enumerated must answer whether he is (or was) employer, self-employed, assistant in the family business or agricultural land, or employee or wage earner.

These categories are clarified as following:

i) Employer is considered the owner of the establishment (either by himself or with partners) and is employing salaried or wage earning staff.
ii) Self-employed is the one that works in his own work without employing salaried or wage earning staff apart maybe a member of his family as unpaid assistant.
iii) Assistant in the family business or agricultural land is the family member working in the family business or agricultural land without pay, except his livelihood, within the time limits defined in paragraph 181.
iv) Employee or wage earner is the person who for his work is having a salary or a day's wage or by contract or percentage on the sales.


195. The employee or wage earner that works on contract but has the materials or is working with percentages on the profits is not to be considered as employee or wage earner. In these cases, he will be considered as employer (if he employs staff) or self-employed (if not employing staff).


196. Question 13, "how many hours did he work during the previous week (8-14 March)" must be answered only if the answer to question 11 is working.

The actual sum of hours they worked must be recorded. It is considered that the enumerated has worked as many hours as he was present in his work, e.g. the establishment, enterprise, service or/and outside work, regardless of whether or not during this time he did not worked. So, the shopkeeper opening his shop is considered that worked as many hours as the shop were open regardless of whether or not they were any sales during that time.
