Step E: Housing
Questions E1 to E10 provide information to develop housing communities and projects.

Information on the number of rooms and bedrooms in homes and on housing costs is used to assess the economic situation of families. Governments use this information to measure levels of crowding within households and to develop housing programs.

Information on the age of dwellings and the need for repairs is used by municipalities to develop neighborhood improvement programs.

Question E5 -- Period when built
To find out the age of the building:

[] Ask the manager or superintendent in condominiums, large apartment blocks, or other rented dwellings.
[] Check your home insurance policy and documents about the purchase of the dwelling.
