Section III. Private housing data.

Question 5. What is the predominant material in the home's construction?
This question will gather the construction materials making up the majority of the roof, exterior walls and floors of the homes, as specified in the census questionnaire.
You should ask it taking into account the header of the question, linking it to the subsections as follows:

Is the predominant material in the roof concrete slabs or plates, beam and slab, wood and tile, wood and tarpaper, fiber cement sheet, etc.?
Is the predominant flooring material ceramic slab, granite or tile, cement, etc.?
Is the predominant material on the walls concrete, blocks or brick, wood, etc.?

If a ceiling, exterior wall or floor is constructed of more than one material, you must mark the one that makes up the majority.
Example: if the floor of a home consists of wood and cement, the Enumerator must ask what percent of the home has each, and which occupies a greater area. If most of it is cement, the box corresponding to that flooring material will be checked. If half of the home is made up of one material and half the other, then mark the one that the interviewee states is predominant.
This question will always have three marks, one for each subsection.
