29. What is your age in years completed?
Question 29. What is your age in completed years?
The age should be recorded in years completed up to 0 hours [12 midnight] of the census day. If the person's birthday is the same day as the census, the age should be calculated to the day prior to the census.
For example:
Juan says that on the census day he turned 16.
15 years is recorded in this way:
[The instructions refer to a graphic of the census form with the age 15 being recorded in the boxes.]
If the person only remembers the year of birth, help the person by making the respective calculation. For example: Virginia says that she was born in 1932. Subtract:
2001 - 1932 = 69 . . . Therefore, she is 69 years old.
For those younger than one year of age, the number 0 is recorded in the boxes. The number 98 is recorded for those who are 98 years of age or older.
