Column (11): Residency status
Ask this question: "Does [the respondent] habitually reside in this household, i.e. since at least 6 months or have the intention to stay for at least 6 months?"
i) If the answer is Yes, ask the following question "is [the respondent] present or has he spent last night in the household?" If Yes, circle "1" for present resident (RP); if No, circle "2" corresponding to absent resident (RA) after having verified if the case of the absent can be considered present.
ii) If the answer to the first question is No, ask again: "is [the respondent] present or has he spent last night in the household?" If the answer is Yes, circle "3" corresponding to visitor (VIS). If the answer is No, this person is not a member of the household and should not be counted.
Notes:
A permanent state agent who was recently positioned in a locality shall be counted as "resident."
A person having lived for less than 6 months in the household, but who intends to stay for more than 6 months shall be counted as "resident."
Night workers such as guards, doctors, etc. who spent the night preceding the census agent's visit at their work location shall be counted as "Present Residents" in their household.
They shall not be counted at their work location.
