Question 2 - Type
Consider:
House - a private household located in a building, with direct access to a thoroughfare (street, court, lane, avenue, path, etc.), legalized or no not, regardless of the material used in its construction.
Buildings with one or more floors or levels which contain a single household should be considered as houses, even if one the floors has non-household use; or
Apartment - An apartment is a private household located in a building of one or more floors containing more than one household and having common spaces (entrance hall, stairways, corridors, entrance gate and other areas).2
Mark, as the case may be:
1 - Separate house or house in a condominium - for a household located in a house with access to a thoroughfare, regardless of the material used in its construction, or one that is part of a condominium without being an integral part of a housing or subnormal complex. Included in this case are houses in "Courts," "Avenues" etc., with one or more numbers on the thoroughfare and some sub-number or specific designation;
2 - House in a lower-income complex - for households located in homes that are part of housing complexes, usually for low-income families, whose urban improvements (streets, curbings, sidewalks, pipes, etc.), [p. 43] were installed simultaneously, usually financed by for public organs such as COHAB, CEHAB, COOPHAB, etc., and in some cases by private companies;
3 - House in a subnormal agglomeration - for households located in subnormal housing complexes, also known as "informal settlements," regardless of the material used in their construction, such as a shanytowns, huts, houses on stilts over water, etc. What characterizes a subnormal agglomeration is its disorganized occupation and the fact that the occupants had no possession or deed to the land when it was built;
4 - Separate apartment or apartment in a condominium - for households located in apartment buildings with access to a thoroughfare or that are part of a condominium, without being an integral part of a housing or subnormal complex;
5 - Apartment in a low-income housing complex - for households located in apartment buildings that are part of housing complexes, usually for low-income families, whose urban improvements (streets, curbings, sidewalks, pipes, etc.) were built simultaneously, usually financed by a public organ such as COHAB, CEHAB, COOPHAB, etc., and in some cases by private companies;
6 - Apartment in subnormal agglomerate - for households located in apartment buildings that are part of a subnormal complex, also known as "informal settlements," such as shanytowns, huts, houses on stilts over water, etc. What characterizes a subnormal agglomeration is its disorganized occupation and the fact that the occupants had no possession or deed to the land when it was built; or
7 - Room(s) - for households located in one or more rooms of a house occupied by the room, inner-city slums, etc.
Note- Consideration of families that live in rooms in a house or apartment in the company of other(s) will be as follows:

a) If there are common areas - bathroom, kitchen, etc. - They will be considered Families in a co-residing family household (except for houses occupied by the room), as they do not comply with the concept of separation; and
b) If there are no common areas - They will be considered Residents of another household, as they do not comply with the concept of independence and separation.

[p. 44]
Observations:
a) A house or apartment in a housing complex or subnormal agglomeration should only be marked when there are a number of households in the same situation; and
b) Apartments in subnormal agglomerations should be very rare.
