District Census Organization
District: It is the lower political subdivision of the country. Generally, it is in turn subdivided in urban and rural areas.
Urban area: It is the territory occupied by the Populated Areas, which are the capitals of the district and those that have a minimum of 100 dwellings grouped next to each other.
Urban Census Area [A.E.U. ]: It is the part of the territory assigned to one enumerator, who will take a census of the dwellings and households on the day of the Census.
Rural area: It is the part of the territory of a district comprising rural Populated Areas, which extend from the borders of urban Populated Areas until the borders of the district.
Rural Census Area [A.E.R.]: It is the part of the territory assigned to an enumerator, who will take a census of the dwellings and households over a period no longer than 15 days.

[5. Specific Instructions for Filling out the Census Form]

[5.1 First Section: Location of the Dwelling not reported]

5.2 Second Section: Characteristics and Services of the Dwelling

Question No. 1: Type of Dwelling
Enumerator: Determine the type of dwelling, observing the private dwelling and taking into account the definitions. Circle the corresponding number.
Dwelling: For the purposes of the Census, it is any structurally separate and independent premise, made up of a room or group of rooms, meant for lodging one or more census households.
Also considered dwellings are those premises that, even though they are not meant for lodging people, are occupied as a place of residence by a census household at the time of conducting the Census.
"Separate" means that the dwelling is surrounded by walls, partitions, etc., and covered by a roof that allows one or more people to isolate themselves from others who form part of the community.
"Independent" means that the dwelling has direct access from the street by way of stairs, a hallway, corridor, etc., or by way of a road (in the case of rural dwellings). This means that the occupants can enter and leave their dwelling without passing through rooms occupied by other people outside of their household.
[There is a graphic representing question 1 in this section of the Enumeration Form.]
[p. 25]
The concepts of separation and independence are represented graphically below.
[There is a drawing of a floor plan for a group of rooms.]

According to this graphic, how many dwellings are there?
According to the definition, there are 2 dwellings. The dwelling of household "A" and that of household "B" meet the requirements of separation and independence, because they are surrounded by walls and their occupants don't pass through rooms occupied by other people in order to leave or enter the dwelling.
The space for household "C" is not considered a dwelling, because it is not independent. In order to enter or leave it, one has to pass through the dining room for household "B."
In conclusion, there are two dwellings, one that houses household "A" and the other which houses households "B" and "C."

Private Dwelling: It is a dwelling meant to serve as lodging for one or more census households. They are classified as:
[Each of the eight examples below is accompanied by a drawing which corresponds to the description.]

Independent house: Is one that has a direct exit to the street, road, etc., and makes up a single dwelling.
Apartment in a building: Is a dwelling that forms part of a building of two or more stories and which has access to public areas through a hallway, corridor, stairs, and/or elevator. Also classified in this group are dwellings on the first floor of the building that have direct access to the street.
Dwelling in a quinta: Is a dwelling that is part of a group of one- or two-story dwellings located along an open-air patio and that have independent water supplies and drainage.

[p. 26]

Dwelling in a tenement house: Is a dwelling that is part of a group of dwellings located along a corridor or patio and that, generally, share a water supply and drainage facilities.
This category includes dwellings located in allies, urbanized land, and on wasteland.
Shack or cabin: This is a dwelling that is generally located in rural areas, built with natural materials of local origin, such as: stone, cane, straw, stone with mud, wood, etc.
Improvised dwelling: This is any lodging or independent construction that is provisionally constructed with light materials (woven plant material, crushed cane), waste materials (cardboard, tin), or with stacked bricks or adobe. This type of dwelling is generally found at the edge of large cities, forming slums, human settlements, invasions, etc.
Premises not meant for human habitation: These are permanent premises that haven't been constructed, adapted, or transformed for human habitation, but that are being used as dwellings on the day of the Census. Included in this category are dwellings located in stables, granaries, factories, warehouses, commercial or office buildings, wineries, etc.
Not included in this category are buildings that, even though they weren't originally constructed to be used for human habitation, have been transformed or adapted to serve that purpose.
Other types: This category refers to premises that are not meant for human habitation nor situated in permanent buildings, but that are used as premises of habitation on the day of the Census.
Examples: cave or other natural refuge, mobile dwellings, camping tent, canopy, yacht, trailer, etc.

[p. 27]

Question No. 2: Occupancy condition of the dwelling

With people absent: This is a permanently occupied dwelling, but where, on the day of the Census, the people who live there are not present. This condition should be confirmed by neighbors.
If the neighbors tell you that the occupants are momentarily absent, don't circle number 2. Keep that form and continue with the enumeration of the next household. Upon finishing the work in your Enumeration Area, return to the dwelling you left pending. If the people are still absent, just circle number 2 (with people absent) and consider your task completed.
[There is a drawing of a person knocking on the door of a residence with no one home.]

7. Special enumeration cases
Special enumeration cases are those that apply to:

a) Occupants of collective dwellings
b) Transients
c) People without a dwelling
d) People who are working on the day of the Census

7.1 Enumeration of Occupants of Collective Dwellings
In collective dwellings, only the first, second and fifth sections of the Census form will be filled out. A diagonal line will be drawn through the third and fourth sections.
Collective Dwelling: The premises or group of premises meant for human habitation by people who usually don't have family ties and who generally live together for reasons of health, teaching, religion, work, tourism, or other causes.
Examples: hotel, hospital, clinic, convent, care center, jail, boarding school, barracks, shelter, war ships, police stations, etc.
The enumeration of this type of dwelling will be carried out by the personnel in the collective dwellings or by special enumerators.

7.1.1 Instructions for filling out the first and second section
Before starting to fill out the Form, ask the person in charge or the representative of the collective dwelling if any private-use dwelling exists, such as for example the administrator's house, the guard's house, etc.
If one or more private dwellings exist, carry out the enumeration of them, using one Census Form for each one, and following the instructions from chapter 5 of this manual.
Then, you will proceed to carry out the enumeration of the people that live together in the collective dwelling. For this purpose, proceed in the following manner:
[p. 57]

Fill out the first section of the form, taking the information from Doc.CPV.03.33: Directory of collective dwellings in the district.
In the second section of the Census form, only question 1B, relating to the type of collective dwelling, will be filled out. Circle the appropriate number. If the type of collective dwelling is not listed, record the appropriate type of collective dwelling in the option "Other type".
Draw a diagonal line through questions 2 through 9 of the second section, and also through the third and fourth sections.
Begin the Enumeration of the people that live together in the collective dwelling starting with the fifth section of the Census form.

The numbering of the forms will be done according to the instructions in point 4.2.3.

7.1.2 Instructions for filling out the fifth section

The people who work in the collective dwelling (doctor, nurse, administrator, etc.) and have their private dwelling elsewhere, but who didn't take advantage of the Special Enumeration ahead of time and are in the dwelling on the day of the Census.
Coordinate with the person in charge of the collective dwelling (administrator or representative) the order that you will follow to enumerate each of the people, being careful that as you move through the areas of the collective dwelling you don't fail to enumerate anyone.
The first person to enumerate will be the person in charge of the collective dwelling if they are included in any of the situations previously mentioned. Next you should enumerate each of the people that live in the collective dwelling. Use as many forms as is necessary.
For each of the people, draw a diagonal line through question 1, Family or other relationship to the head of household.
For identification, formulating the questions, and recording the information, follow the instructions given in section 3 of this manual.

[p. 58]
Don't Enumerate as part of the collective dwelling people who work there (doctor, nurse, administrator, etc.) and who have a private dwelling within the collective dwelling.

[7.2] Enumeration of Transients
Transients are: People who, on the day of the Census, are traveling in the country and who haven't been enumerated in any dwelling.

People coming from abroad who enter the country up until 0:00 hours on the day of the Census.
The crew of domestic and international ships which, at 0:00 hours on the day of the Census, are anchored in domestic ports.

Transients will be enumerated by a team of special enumerators, depending on the situation, at control points, airports, etc. where their trip ends, if this happens on the day of the Census. If the trip is prolonged and doesn't end on the day of the Census, the travelers will be enumerated at the first airport, port, control point, etc. where their means of transportation stops.

7.2.1 Instructions for filling out the first and second section
On each census form used, do the following:

Leave the box for Form No. blank.
In the first section of the Form, record the name of the province and district in which you are conducting the enumeration.

Make a diagonal line through question 1, family or other relationship with the head of household, for each person interviewed.
For forming the questions and filling out the corresponding information, follow the instructions given in section 3 of this manual.

7.3 Enumeration of people without a dwelling
This refers to people (children and adults) who don't have a dwelling. Their places of shelter are parks, plazas, and the surrounding areas, and they are found alone or in groups.
These people will be enumerated by a group of special enumerators in Police stations, churches, public premises, etc. and, in some cases, in the public thoroughfare.

7.4 Enumeration of people who work on the day of the Census
People who work on the day of the Census because they provide services in public or private establishments and who, because of the nature of the job that they do, will not stop work on the day of the Census, will be enumerated days prior to the Census, in accordance with the instructions given by the heads of Enumeration.
These people are: employees of potable water and sewer companies, electric energy companies, communications and telecommunications companies, means of social communication, medical and hospital services, transportation services, security companies, firemen, police officers, military personnel, and census officials.
[There is a picture of a police officer.]
The Census Form and the Special Population Form will be used in this enumeration.

A Census Form will be given to Census officials so that they may fill in the information pertaining to their dwelling, households, and the people that live there.

If the Census official lives alone, they will hand in the completed form to their respective Census office, so, before the day of the Census, they will post a "Dwelling enumerated" label on the main door of their dwelling.

[p. 61]

If the Census official does not live alone, they will leave the completed form in their dwelling, with the information corresponding to the dwelling, households and people who live there, which will be picked up by the Enumerator for the corresponding area on the day of the Census, and who will post the "Dwelling enumerated" label.

For other people who work on the day of the Census and are not Census officials, proceed in the following manner:

If the person lives alone, they will be enumerated in the District Office on a Census Form. At the end of the enumeration they will be given a "Dwelling enumerated" label so that they can post it on the main door to their dwelling.
If the person does not live alone, they will leave the Special Population Form, which only contains information for that person, in their dwelling. During the Enumeration, the Enumerator for the respective A.E.U. [Urban Census Area] will transcribe that information onto the Household Census Form.

The instructions for filling out the Form are those that are specified in section 3 of this manual.
