Chapter one: National Censuses 2007: 11th Population Census and 6th Housing Census
[General information on what is a Housing Census, why to implement it and type of Census is not presented here]

1.4 What will the Census District Organization be like?
The organization will be:

Urban Area: It is part of the territory of a district, comprising Populated Areas, where all of them have a minimum of 100 dwellings grouped next to each other, which receive the name of "Urban Populated Areas".
Rural Area: It is part of the territory of a district, comprising Rural Populated Areas, which extend from the borders of the urban Populated Areas until the borders of the district.
Populated Area: It is the place of the territory of a district which has a name and is inhabited by several families; or exceptionally, by only one family or one person with the intention to live there permanently.
The dwellings in a Populated Area can be next to each other, forming blocks, streets, and squares, like towns or cities; partially scattered, like hamlets, annexes, etc.; and completely scattered, like dwellings in agricultural areas.
Depending on the distribution of dwellings, a Populated Area can be urban or rural.
Urban Census Area [A.E.U. ]: It is the part of the territory assigned to an urban enumerator, who will take a census of the dwellings and persons existing there the day of the Census. It generally comprises 15 dwellings.
Rural Census Area [A.E.R.]: It is the part of the territory assigned to a rural enumerator, who will take a census of the dwellings and persons existing there over a period no longer than 15 days. It has one or more Rural Populated Areas and generally comprises more than 100 dwellings. By exception, there could be Rural Census Areas with less or more than 100 dwellings.
[Pages 6-13 not translated, they include general instructions for the enumerator on how to organize fieldwork and how to fill out the Census form"]

[p. 14]

Chapter four: Specific instructions for filling out the First Section, "Localization of the dwelling and number of household"

Dwelling Number: Number sequentially each dwelling (occupied or unoccupied) that is enumerated in the "Dwelling Number" box according to its appropriate sequence as determined by the scouting in your rural or urban zone.

Additional Form: Use the "Additional Form" box only when you have to record information about more than 10 people in the household. In this case use one or more additional forms, as the situation dictates.
Example: In dwelling number three, there is only one household, in which 13 people slept the night before the Census Day. Use two forms, one for the main form and another, additional form, as follows:

• On the main form, record the information about the first 10 people, i.e. from the first to the tenth.
• On the additional form, record the information about the remaining people, i.e. from the eleventh to the thirteenth.

Fill out the "Dwelling Number" and "Additional Form" box for each census form used in this household as follows [the following is an example which included graphics with correctly filled-out boxes]:

• On the main form, write the number "3" in the "Dwelling Number" grid spaces and do not circle number 1 in the "Additional Form" box.
• On the additional form, fill in the same dwelling number (3) and circle number 1 in the "Additional Form" box.

[p. 15]

Dwelling: A dwelling is a building or independent building unit that is built, adapted or converted so that it may be inhabited by one or more people, either permanently or temporarily. It should have direct or independent access from the street or through public-use spaces, like hallways, patios, or stairs.
It is normally separated by walls and a roof so that the people who live in it may separate themselves from others for cooking and eating, sleeping, and protection from the environment.
Examples [the examples are accompanied by a drawing of a different type or view of a building]:

• The dwelling has direct access to the street. Its inhabitants can go out of and into their dwelling without going through anyone else's rooms.
• The dwellings in this building of independent attached units [quinta] do not have direct access from the street, but rather through hallways and stairs. Its inhabitants can go out of and into their dwelling without going through anyone else's rooms.
• The dwellings along this blind alley [callejón] do not have direct access from the street, but rather from the alleyway common to all dwellings [patio], and its inhabitants can go into and out of their dwelling without going through anyone else's rooms.

Box A: Geographic Location
Before you begin scouting your Urban or Rural Census Zone, transfer the name and code of the department, province and district, as well as the name of the populated area [centro poblado], to box A, "Geographic Location." Transfer the information from the Urban Census Zone List of Dwellings or from the Rural Census Zone List of Populated Areas, as appropriate.

Box B: Census Location in Urban Areas
While you are in the Zone Office and before you begin scouting your Urban Census Zone, transfer the information related to the zone number, section number and urban census zone number from the Urban Census Zone List of Dwellings.
Transfer the information related to the block number and building number [numero de frente], to the respective grids in box B, "Census Location: Urban Area," on the census form. Do this according to the scouting you do in your Urban Census Zone.
If the Section Leader tells you that there have been any cartographic changes in your urban census zone, fill out box B, "Census Location: Urban Area," by transferring the appropriate information from the updated Urban Census Zone Diagram.
[p. 16]
In the spaces for grid 5, "Zone Number," the information may be in numeric form. If it is, use the first three spaces in the grid, leaving the fourth one blank. If it's alphanumeric, use the first three spaces for the numerical part, and write the appropriate letter in the fourth space.
[Below the text is a correctly filled out form for a numeric and alphanumeric annotation.]
In the spaces for grid 8, "Block Number," the information can be in numeric form or in alphanumeric form. Follow the same instructions as for grid 5.
[Below the text is a correctly filled out form for a numeric and alphanumeric annotation.]
Keep in mind that if you are enumerating an Urban Zone, then in box B: "Census Location," you do not record information in the spaces for grid 10, "Section Number," or 11, "Rural Census Zone," because that information corresponds to rural zones.
[Below the text is a correctly filled out form showing the first section and a "Urban Census Zone list of dwellings".]
[p. 17]
Box B: Census Location in Rural Areas
Transfer the "Section Number" and "Rural Census Zone Number" information from the "Rural Census Zone Populated Areas List" to the census form.
In the spaces for grid 11, "Rural Census Area Number" [A.E.R. number], if the information corresponds to a simple Rural Census Area number [A.E.R. simple], or a compound Rural Census Area number [A.E.R. compuesto], use the three grid spaces corresponding to first and last, respectively.
Example 1: If the enumeration takes place in the rural census area with the simple number 005-005, the correct annotation is "005" in both first and last.
Example 2: If the enumeration takes place in rural census area number 007-008, the correct annotation is "007" in first and "008" in last.
[Next to each example there is a filled out form.]
Keep in mind that if the enumeration takes place in a rural zone you do not record the information in the following grid spaces of box B, "Census Location": 5, "Zone Number"; 6, "Section Number"; 7, "Urban Census Zone Number"; 8, "Block Number"; and 9, "Building Number." These boxes correspond to urban areas.

Box 12: Dwelling Address
Fill out this box with the information obtained in the field. Only the Urban Enumerator should fill this box out.
The information about the dwelling address in your list of dwellings is to be used as a reference only.
[p. 18]
Type of Road: You must circle the number corresponding to the type of road:

Name of Road: You must write the name of the road on which the dwelling is located. If there is no name, write SN (no name).
Door Number: Write the number on the dwelling's main door. If there is no number write SN (no number).
Examples:

Apartment Building [block]: If the dwelling is located in an apartment building of a complex [conjunto habitacional], write the number or letter in the corresponding box.
Inside (int.): Write the number or letter which identifies the dwelling in a building, attached independent unit [quinta], tenement building [casa de vecindad], or units grouped around a blind alley [callejón], etc. If there is no number write SN (no number).
Examples:

Floor: You must write the number of the floor on which the dwelling is located. Keep in mind the following:

• If the dwelling is part of a building and is located on the rooftop [azotea], write A in the space corresponding to "Floor". If the dwelling is located in the basement write the letter S. If there is more than one basement with private dwellings in the building, write S1, S2, S3, etc., as appropriate.

• If the entrance to the dwelling is located on a second, third or higher floor, write the respective number in the grid space corresponding to "Floor," even if the entrance for the door to the dwelling is reached through another door which leads directly to the street.

[p. 19]
Block and Lot Number: Some dwellings don't have a number on the door because dwellings in that area are divided into blocks and lots. In this case write the block number and the lot number in the corresponding spaces.
Example:

Kilometer Number: Write the kilometer number at which the dwelling is located. Examples are 5, 11.5.
Example: The address for dwelling number five is Tulipanes Avenue. There is no door number, it's on block H10, lot 21, and it's located on the second floor with direct and independent access.
[Below the text is a correctly filled out form.]

Box C: Number of Households
Question 13: Sir (Madam): How many groups of people (households) cook separately in this dwelling?

• Read the question clearly and slowly, wait for the answer, and then write the number corresponding to the total number of households in the dwelling in the appropriate box. Read this question to the head of household. The head of household is the person who is recognized as such by other members of the household and who lives permanently in the dwelling.
• If the respondent answers that there is only one group of people, or that only one person lives there, write "1" in the appropriate box.
• If there is a person or group of persons in the household who cook their food separately, consider each group as a household.

Household A household is a person or group of persons, related or not, who occupy all or part of a dwelling. They share at least the main meals and provide for their other basic needs from a common budget.
[p. 20]
Box 14: Household Number
If there are several households in the dwelling, ask the respondent which of them is the main household. The other households will be called secondary households.
In box 14, "Household Number", write the name of the household which you are currently enumerating. The main household will always be household number 1.
Example: If there are 3 households in a dwelling, the correct way to write the information is as follows:

Private Dwelling with a Single Household:

[p. 21]
Individual Dwelling with Two Households

Private Dwelling with Three Households

Example of Dwelling and Household
Let's look at the following graphic, which shows three groups of people who occupy a dwelling and cook their food separately.
[Below there is a drawing showing each of the three groupings in separate rooms.]

To summarize, there are 3 households in this dwelling.
[p. 22]
A Dwelling with More Than One Household
In cases where there is more than one household in a dwelling, use one census form per household. The instructions for filling out the census form for the main and secondary households are as follows:

• Third section: Household Characteristics
• Fourth section: Household Makeup
• Fifth section: Population Characteristics
• At the end of the interview fill out the "Enumeration Summary" box with the appropriate information.

• Third section: Household Characteristics
• Fourth section: Household Makeup
• Fifth section: Population Characteristics
• At the end of the interview fill out the "Enumeration Summary" box with the appropriate information.

[Page 23 not presented here, it includes instructions for the enumerator on how to fill out Census forms for a dwelling with more than one household]

[p. 24]

Chapter five: Specific instructions for filling out the second section, "Dwelling characteristics and services"

Fill out the second section, "Dwelling Characteristics and Services," for the main dwelling only.

Question 1: Type of Dwelling
Because this question is completed according to your own observation, you must have a clear idea of each one of the options. Circle a single choice for the appropriate option.
If you circle any of the options 1 to 8 in item 1A, "Private Dwelling," continue to question 2 in this section.
If you circle any of the options 9 to 15 in item 1B, "Collective Dwelling," go to the fifth section: Population Characteristics.
If you circle option 16 in item 1C, "Other Type," go to the fifth section, "Population Characteristics."
Reminders

• Item 1A, "Private Dwelling," should only be filled out during the enumeration of private dwellings (normal enumeration).
• Item 1B, "Collective Dwelling," or 1C, "Other Type," should only be filled out during the enumeration of institutional dwellings, transients (in border checkpoint stations [garitas] ports, airports, etc.), or for the homeless (special enumeration).

[p. 25]
Private Dwelling: This is a dwelling intended for one or more persons who are related by blood or, if not related by blood, who live as a family. Among types of private dwellings are the following:
[Each of the 8 categories below is accompanied by a drawing which corresponds to the description.]

[p. 26]

Collective Dwelling: A collective dwelling is intended for habitation by persons, usually without family ties, who are subject to administrative rules and who live together for reasons of education, health, religion, work, or tourism, among others. Among collective dwellings there are 2 varieties: institutional and non-institutional.
[The text below is accompanied by 3 drawings of various types of institutional and non-institutional dwellings.]

• Hospitals, clinics, and sanitariums
• Jail or rehabilitation center
• Retirement home, children's home, orphanage, etc.
• Other

• Convents, monasteries and the like
• Boarding schools: high school, university, teaching schools, military schools, seminary schools, barracks [cuartel], etc.
• Camps or barracks [barracas] (military, workers, etc), warships or merchant ships, police, etc.

[p. 27]

Question 2: Dwelling Use Status
Given that you will fill this question out according to your observations, you should have a clear idea of the concept and the alternative options. Circle only the number of the response which corresponds to what you see.
If you circle option 1, then go to question 3.
If you circle any of the options 2-7, go to the following question.
Reminders

• Before you circle the number of any of the options 2-7, confirm with the neighbors that there is no one living in the dwelling. Once you've confirmed this, fill out a census form with the number of the appropriate dwelling, and then go to the next dwelling.
• If you come across a building [which is not on your zone diagram], confirm with the neighbors that it is intended to be a dwelling. Once you have confirmed that the building in question is intended to be a dwelling and that there is no one living in it (unoccupied) because it is still under construction, fill out a census form with the number of the appropriate dwelling and in the box for that question circle the number for option 5: "Under Construction or Repair."
• If you circle any of the options 2-7, remember to leave blank the question in box 13, relating to "Total Households," and box 14, "Household Number," in the first section.

Example: If the enumerator arrives at a dwelling and someone greets him/her, then it is an "Occupied dwelling with People Present," and the enumerator circles option 1 and goes on to question number 3.
Occupied Dwelling
[Each of the examples below, for occupied and unoccupied dwellings, is accompanied by a drawing demonstrating the concept.]

[p. 28]

Unoccupied Dwelling

Question 3: What is the Dwelling's Predominant Building Material?

3A. The predominant material of the exterior walls is:
For option 8, "Other material," take into consideration any type of material not mentioned in the previous options, such as split bamboo [caña partida], palm leaves, stacked stones, etc. Ask which building material was used for the majority of the exterior walls of the dwelling.
[p. 29]
In some areas of the jungle the dwellings are like the one in the drawing (without walls). In this case, circle option 8, Other Material. [The text is accompanied by a drawing.]
The predominant material of the exterior walls: This refers to the construction material of the majority of the outside walls of the dwelling. It excludes fences or walls which surround the house.
Example 1: If half (50%) of the exterior walls are of thatch [quincha] and the other half (50%) are of wood, there is no one material that predominates. In this case circle the number of the best option, which is 3: wood (palm [pona], wood from the tornillo tree, etc.)
Example 2: If 60% of the walls are made of brick and 40% are made of adobe, circle option 1, "Brick or cement block," because that is the material which predominates.

3B: The predominant building material of the floors is:
In option 7, "Other Material", take into account any type of material not mentioned in the above options, such as stone, brick, sand, paving stones [empedrado], etc.
Predominant building material used for the floors: This refers to the building material for the majority of the floors in the dwelling's rooms.
Example: The bedroom floor in Ernestina's dwelling is made of parquet, but the rest of the rooms in the dwelling have cement flooring. Circle option 2, "Cement."

Question 4: How is the dwelling supplied with water?
If you circle one of the options 4-8, go to question 6. Otherwise, go to question 5.
In option 8, "Other," take into account any type of supply not mentioned in the above options, such as rainwater, snow, etc.
[p. 30]
Reminders

• If the dwelling is supplied with water through various means, record the one that is used the most.
• If the dwelling is supplied with water from underground which accumulates in a well, enters the dwelling through piping, and is treated two to four times per year, circle option 1: "Public network within the dwelling (drinking water)." However, if the water is not treated, circle option number 5, "Well."
• Water which comes from a river or spring, is not treated in any way, and enters a dwelling through piping which the residents have installed themselves, is not potable. In this case, circle option number 6, "River, irrigation ditch, spring, or similar."

Water Supply: This refers to the origin of the water used in the dwelling, and the way it is supplied to the household.
[Each of the 8 categories below is accompanied by a drawing reproducing the written description.]

[p. 31]


Question 5: Does the dwelling have water service seven days a week?
If you circle option 1, "Yes," go to question 5A, "How many hours per day?", and write the answer in the grid space. Then go to question number 6.
If you circle option 2, "No," go to question 5B, "How many days per week do you have water service?", and write the answer in the appropriate grid space. Then read question 5C, "How many hours per day?", and write the appropriate response.
Reminders

• Question 5, "Does the dwelling have water service seven days a week?" should be filled out only if you circled one of the options 1-3 in question 4.
• If the respondent answers that he/she has water seven days a week because it is stored in his/her tank, cistern, etc., ask in a friendly way if they actually have water service every day or only some days.

[p. 32]
Question 6: What are the bathroom or toilets in the dwelling connected to?
If the respondent doesn't answer affirmatively to any one of the options 1-5, circle option 6, doesn't have.
Public Sewer System. This is the system of pipes located underground on public land by which dwellings rid themselves of human waste. Depending on where the connection to the toilet/bathroom [servicio higienico] is located (water, toilet, etc.), it may be:
[Each of the following six categories below is accompanied by a drawing reproducing the written description.]

1. Public sewer system within the dwelling. This is when the connection to the toilet/bathroom [servicio higienico] is located inside the dwelling.
2. Public sewer system outside of the dwelling but within the building complex. This is when the connection to the toilet/bathroom is within the perimeter of the building complex, as is the case of housing units grouped around a blind alley, or shanties built on a vacant lot.
3. Septic tank. This is when human waste is sent directly to a septic tank which is treated with lime, ashes, or other substances which break down the waste. An example of this is muriatic acid, etc.
4. Cesspit, latrine. This is when human waste is sent directly to a pit which is not treated in any way. Don't count the use of bleach/lye or detergents as agents which break down the waste.

[p. 33]

5. River, drainage ditch or canal. This is when human waste is disposed of directly into a drainage ditch, river, canal, etc.
6. Doesn't have. This is when the dwelling doesn't have any toilet/bathroom.

Question 7: Does the dwelling receive electric lighting from the public network?
Reminders

• This question refers to whether the dwelling receives electric lighting from the public network, which comes from companies which distribute electric energy. It includes electric lighting provided by generator or municipal power supply [motor municipal].
• If the respondent responds that he/she "draws" electricity from the street pole or his/her neighbor, circle option 2.

Question 8: How many rooms does the dwelling have in total, excluding the bathroom, kitchen and garage?
If there is more than one household in the dwelling, the information about the total number of rooms in the dwelling should come from the respondent from the principal household.
Reminder

• If the rooms are separated by curtains, fabric, plastic, cardboard, etc. they should not be counted separately. For example, if Jose has a single room whose sides are separated by curtains, you would write the number "1."

[p. 34]
Room. This is the space located in a dwelling, bounded by walls which generally go from the floor to the ceiling, and which has a surface area large enough to fit an adult-size bed.
The following are considered rooms: bedrooms, dining rooms, dining room/living room/kitchen combinations, studies, maids' rooms or utility rooms [cuarto de servicio], rooms used for professional purposes, and rooms used or intended for commercial purposes such as lodging.
The following are not considered rooms: hallways, entryways or sitting areas [sala de estar], laundries, kitchen/eating areas [cocina/comedor], and garages which are used as garages.
[The concept of room is shown using a floor plan as an example, which indicates the areas that are considered rooms or not.]

Question 9: Is the dwelling you occupy:
For option 6, "Other", write down any other means of occupying the dwelling. If the head of household answers that the dwelling was built on a piece of land that he/she took over [invadió], but for which he/she currently holds a title issued by the Cofopri [Organism for Informal Property Formalization], circle option number 4, "Completely paid for."
Rented. This is a dwelling that is occupied in exchange for payment of a fixed amount on a periodic basis, usually monthly, to the owner of the dwelling.
Owned, taken over [propia, por invasión]. This is when a dwelling has been built and [the builder] has no recognized right to the dwelling or the land.
Owned, paying off in installments. This is when the property rights have been acquired through purchase by means of medium- or long-term credit or a mortgage.
Owned, completely paid for. This is when the property rights have been acquired through purchase. It includes properties acquired by inheritance or in other ways.
Provided by job or another household/institution.

• Provided by job. This is when it is occupied in exchange for services rendered.
• Provided by other household or institution. This is when it is occupied with the consent of a relative in another household, or of an institution, without payment (free) and with no exchange of services.

Other. This includes any other form of occupation of the dwelling. An example is antichresis (which is giving a dwelling as guaranty for a loan), etc.

[p. 35]

Chapter six: Specific instructions for filling out the third section, "Housing characteristics"

Procedure for the third section, "Housing Characteristics," for all households in the dwelling (primary and secondary).

Question 1: Does the household have...?
Option 7 for item 1A, "Household Electrical Appliances," and option 5 for item 1B, "Services," should not be read out loud. Circle them if the respondent answers that he/she has none of the household electrical appliances and services mentioned among the preceding options.
Reminders

• Don't make any assumptions based on what you see. For example, the refrigerator or television you see may not work.
• If the respondent answers that he/she has devices or appliances that aren't working, ask if they will soon be repaired. If the respondent doesn't plan on repairing them, do not include them.

Question 2: What is the most common energy or fuel used in the household for cooking?
Take into account only the fuel which is used most frequently in the household.
If you circle any of the options 3-6, go to question 2A, "Do you have a chimney in the place where the kitchen is located?"
Include branches, dry leaves, straw, etc. in option 7, "Other."
Option 8, "They don't cook," should not be read out loud. Circle this option only if they do not cook their food in the household.
[p. 36]
Chimney. This is the duct whose purpose is to vent or expel to the outside smoke created when using the kitchen to prepare food. This duct may be of metal or other material and should be located directly where the smoke or byproduct of the kerosene, coal, wood, or dung escapes.

Question 3: How many of the people who used to be part of this household are living permanently in another country?
There is no period of reference for this question. Include all people who were part of and lived in the household and who emigrated to live in another country permanently.
If the respondent says that no one who was a member of the household left to live permanently in another country, write 0 in the appropriate box. If there were 10 or more, write 9.
Example: German (the head of household) says that his son Fernando, who used to be part of the household, has been living permanently in Argentina for five years. Write 1 in the box that corresponds to "Number of persons."
[Next to the text there is a graphic reproducing box 3 from the Census Form correctly filled out according to the example.]

Question 4: Is there anyone with a disability, that is, a person with a permanent physical or mental impairment which limits one or more of his/her activities of daily living? Does anyone in this household have a permanent impairment or restriction?
In option 5, "Other impairment or restriction," include Down syndrome, mental retardation, senile dementia, Alzheimer's, autism, psychiatric disturbance, etc.
Option 6, "No one with a disability," should not be read out loud. Circle this option only if no one in the household has a permanent impairment or restriction.
Disability. This is when a person has permanent physical, visual, auditory or mental impairments that substantially limit one or more of the activities of daily living in the manner or within the range considered normal for his/her age.

[p. 37]

Chapter seven: Specific instructions for filling out the fourth section, "Household make-up"
The information in the fourth section, "Household Make-up," should be given by the head of household.

Question 1: How many people slept here the day before the Census Day? Don't forget newborns, seniors and visitors.
All people who slept in or were in the dwelling the night of Saturday October 20 to Sunday October 21 should be counted and recorded.
The information recorded in question 1 should coincide with the number of people recorded in question 2 of this same section.
If you are in a rural area keep in mind that, for every household, this question always refers to October 21. This is the case even if a person who slept in the dwelling the night before the census is not in the house at the time of the enumeration.
The "Census Moment" (zero hour on the day of the census). Keeping in mind that there is a 24-hour time system based on a cycle that begins at zero hours and ends at 24 hours, zero hour on census day is the moment that October 20th ends and October 21st begins. It's the point of reference used to determine which people in a dwelling will be enumerated.
[p. 38]
Using the concept of the "census moment," enumerate as follows:
Enumerate:

• All people who slept the night before census day in the dwelling: household members, household employees, relatives, friends, and visitors.
• Children who were born before zero hour on the day of the census.
• People who died after zero hour on the day of the census.
• As an exception to the general rule, enumerate people who, for business or social reasons, did not sleep in the household the night before census day and who will not be enumerated in any other place but who are present [at the time of the enumeration]. For example, people who were working that night as night watchmen, police, nurses, security guards, fire fighters, those who returned from a trip, etc.

Do not enumerate:

• People who did not sleep in the dwelling the night before the census, and who will be enumerated elsewhere.
• Children who were born after zero hour on census day.
• People who died before zero hour on census day.

Example: The day before the census, Juanita, her five children and a household employee slept in Juanita's household. Her husband, a security guard, did not sleep in the household the night before census day because he was on duty, but he is present at the time of the enumeration of the household and will not be enumerated in any other place. Thus, in the grid for question 1, write the number 8.
[A graphic below shows box number 1 from the census form correctly filled out in accordance with the above example.]
Question 2: What is the name and paternal surname of each one of the people who slept here the night before the census day?
On each line record the first name and paternal surname of each person who slept in the dwelling the night before the census day. Keep in mind that:

• The first line (Person 1) is for the head of household. The head of household is the person who will give you his/her own name and paternal surname.
• The head of household is the person who will tell you the first name and paternal surname of all the other people who slept in the dwelling the night before the Census Day.
• For newborn babies born before zero hour on Census Day but not yet named, write "newborn," followed by the paternal surname, in the appropriate line.
• Record people according to their relationship with the head of household in the following order:

[p. 39]

• Head of household (on the first line).
• Spouse or partner.
• Single children and/or stepchildren and/or adopted children without children. Record by age, from oldest to youngest.
• Single children and/or stepchildren and/or adopted children with children. Record by age, from oldest to youngest, followed by their children.
• Married or partnered children and/or stepchildren and/or adopted children, followed by their spouses and children (family).
• Sons-in-law or daughters-in-law
• Grandchildren
• Parents or parents-in-law
• Other relatives (aunts and uncles, siblings, cousins, etc.)
• Household workers
• Boarders
• Other persons not related to the head of household (friends, co-godparents, godchildren, etc.)

Example: Juan Vargas Vera is the head of household. The night before the Census Day the following people slept in the household: His wife, Juana Alban Rosado; his eldest daughter Marita Vargas Alban (single mother), along with her young son Jose Vargas Vargas; his second daughter, Luisa Vargas Alban; and her husband Manuel Granda Suarez.
[Next to the text there is a graphic reproducing box 2 from the Census Form correctly filled out in accordance with the directions.]
Household with more than 10 people
If there are more than 10 people in the household, use one or more additional forms as needed. There is only enough space to record 10 people in question 2 of the forth section, as well as in the fifth section. Fill out the additional form as follows:

[p. 40]
Example: In Cesar Montenegro's household you will need to use an additional form to continue filling out the information for person number 11, his grand-daughter Mariela Montenegro.
[Page 40 not presented here, it includes instructions for the enumerator on how to fill out Census forms for a household with more than 10 people"]
[p. 41]
Enumeration summary box
Fill out this box when you finish enumerating a household, collective dwelling, or other.
When you finish enumerating a dwelling (individual dwelling)

• Before filling in the "Total," "Males," and "Females" spaces, verify that the total number of people recorded in section five, "Population Characteristics," is equal to the total number of people recorded in questions 1 and 2 of the fourth section. If the information doesn't match, make the appropriate corrections.
• In the grid for "Total," write the total number of people in the household. Include each person recorded in the fifth section.
• In the grid for "Males," write the total number of males in the household. Include each male recorded in question 2 of the fifth section.

[p. 42]

• In the grid for "Females," write the total number of females in the household. Include all females recorded in question 2 of the fifth section.
• If you used additional forms because there were more than 10 people in the household, fill out the information corresponding to this space only on the main form (the first form you used). Leave the "Enumeration Summary" box blank on the additional forms.

Example: Observe how the "Enumeration Summary" boxes are filled out for Cesar Montenegro's household.
[Next to the text there are two graphics, one of the main form and one of the additional form, correctly filled out according to the instructions above.]
When you have finished enumerating a "Collective" or "Other" type dwelling:

• Count up all of the people recorded in the fifth section when you are filling out the grid spaces for "Total," "Males," and "Females" in the "Enumeration Summary" box. Keep in mind that if you used more than one census form you must count up the people you recorded on each of them.
• In the grid for "Total," add up all of the people, including every person recorded in the fifth section, taking into account all the forms you used.
• In the grid for "Males," add up all of the males, including every male recorded in question 2 of the fifth section, taking into account all the forms you used.
• In the space for "Females," add up all of the females, including every female recorded in question 2 of the fifth section, taking into account all the forms you used.

[p. 43]

• If you used additional forms, fill out the corresponding information in this box only on the main form (the first form you used). For the rest of the additional forms, leave the "Enumeration Summary" box blank.

Example: In the "Buen Descanso" retirement home you enumerated 25 people (15 men and 10 women). To correctly fill out the "Enumeration Summary" box, add up all the people recorded in the fifth section of the three forms used (the main form and two additional forms) and record the information on the main form only.
[Next to the text there is a graphic reproducing the third and fourth sections of the three forms (the main form and two additional forms) filled out according to the instructions above.]

Question 4: Do you have a birth certificate on file with the civil registry office?
Having a birth certificate means that the person's birth has been registered in the civil registry office. If the respondent answers that he/she does not have a birth certificate because he/she hasn't picked it up from the civil registry office yet, or has lost it, circle number 1, "yes."
