Question 8: Occupancy
a) Occupied

Circle 1 -- "with persons present" -- is filled in if the members of the household are in the dwelling.

If there are only minors present, a return visit should be made when an adult is present.

Circle 2 -- "with persons who are absent" -- is filled in if the household members are not present but the neighbors can verify that the dwelling is occupied. (If the absence is verified to be temporary, a return visit should be made at the end of the enumeration)
b) Unoccupied

Circle 3 is filled in if the house is for sale.

Circle 4 is filled in if the house is for rent.

The circle "other" is filled in when the dwellings are either unoccupied, under repair, under construction, or abandoned.

Note: The information for questions 7 (dwelling type), 8 (occupancy), 9 (summer or occasional use), 10(walls), 11 (roof), and 12 (floor), is collected for unoccupied dwellings and then the next dwelling is enumerated.
