Characteristics of the household's dwelling unit
Column (1): Dwelling unit's construction type
The census agent must examine the dwelling unit in which the household resides, determine its construction type, and circle the corresponding number.
[] Private house: this is generally a building with several rooms and without enclosure.
[] Compartmentalized house: this is a compartmentalized building that can house several households.
[] Villa: include in this rubric any building of high standing, surrounded by an enclosure, and generally having a green space in the inner courtyard. A Villa can be an ordinary building with one floor. A villa generally houses one household. This is the case of houses that one encounters in residential zones (Cotonou, Parakou, etc.).
[] Building: this is a building of several stories with several apartments.
[] Isolated case: those are buildings made with one material that one generally encounters in the countryside (made of clay, bamboo, straw...). Example: Huts in the South, Tatas in the North.
[] Concession: a concession is composed of buildings grouped together and giving access or not to a central courtyard.
[] Other: classify under this rubric all buildings that could not be classified elsewhere.
