Questions E1-E10 are about this dwelling.
The questions refer to May 10, 2011 unless otherwise specified.

A dwelling is a separate set of living quarters with a private entrance from the outside or from a common hallway or stairway inside the building. This entrance should not be through someone else's living quarters.

(b) How many of these rooms are bedrooms?

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 E4 -- Number of rooms and bedrooms
Part (a) -- Number of rooms in a dwelling

Do not count any half-rooms (e.g., instead of '1.5' enter '1' or '2', depending on which best describes the dwelling).

If a room is partially divided by a fixed or movable partition, or has two parts used for different purposes, such as an L-shaped living and dining room, count it as two separate rooms.

Part (b) -- Number of bedrooms
For a one-room dwelling or bachelor apartment, report '0'.
