1.5 / Structures not to be counted
a) The structures which you have checked have no dwelling and are not residential buildings according to the census definition.
Do not count them. No printed form is filled out for them.
Examples:
Important!: You must check to make sure. Many industrial, commercial, or administrative establishments do contain dwellings for those in charge or the guard, and you have to count those.
- this house has fallen into ruin.
Important!: Some residential buildings in the path of destruction are "taken over", and their occupants must be counted.
- this stadium is not to be counted.
Important!: The person in charge of its maintenance is sometimes housed on the site.
[p. 16]
Rule: A structure should not be considered complete, that is, to be counted, except if each of the following two cases is true:
- the buildings can be inhabited immediately.
Some people who occupy their dwelling before the completion of the construction work, for example, by "camping" in one room. You will include them in the census as well as the building.
However, you will not count the other dwellings of the residential building, which are unoccupied.
b) The cultural/ethnic communities
In 1982, we had taken a census of :
- 520,000 boarding students of an educational institution
- 60,000 people in prison or integrated (into the society)
- 200,000 people working from their home
- 130,000 students in University dormitories or at home
- 330,000 elderly people in nursing homes or retirement homes
- 190,000 people hospitalized for a long duration
- 90,000 members of a religious community
There are other categories of communities. For example, housing centers or host families and the homes of handicapped people.

As a rule, these cultural/ethnic communities are counted in February by special agents. These agents counted not only the communities and their members, but also the individual dwellings situated in their enclosures and their occupants.
Example:
The director of the Chenaie retirement home makes use of a dwelling on the highest floor.
[see picture in upper right- hand corner of p. 17]
All these cultural/ethnic communities having undertaken the census in February, as well as the individual dwellings of which they are made up, are mentioned in tables 1, 2, and 3 and on pages 3 and 4 of the district form which is given to you.
Conclusion: If one community is mentioned on the district form, there is no reason to enter inside the community if it forms a very distinct, separate unit in the heart of the district.
Special cases:
2) You will discover during the census collection a house or a structure not mentioned in the district's form, but serving as the shelter of a such a cultural/ethnic community. You will immediately point out this case to the delegate.
3) You will discover during the collection, within a collective residential building, a community occupying two or more dwellings not mentioned on the district form. You will point this out at once to the delegate.
4) You will discover during the collection, within a collective residential building a community occupying one single dwelling and not mentioned on the district form. You will count this dwelling just like all the other dwellings of the residential building, with the help of a FL and a BI for each occupant, regardless of the number of community members.
Example: Three representatives of a congregation occupy a dwelling which serves as their residence, and where they conduct support work for poor and destitute. They will be counted with the help of a FL and three BI.
5) The dwellings- homes for elderly people are not cultural/ethnic communities, but dwellings. Hence they are not counted in February, but in March, by you. Each of them will be represented as an item on a FL, and one BI is filled in for each occupant. This type of dwelling is furthermore mentioned explicitly on question 1 from page 4 of the FL. One DIC is filled for the residential building according to the usual rules.
[p. 18]
7) You should count the police barracks with the help of a FL per dwelling and per bedroom and also with a BI per occupant (policemen and members of their families). However, you will not count the drafted military carrying out their national service in the barracks and already counted in February.
