Question 2: relationship
(Fill out the information vertically for each person beginning with this question.)
1. How to ask the question:
Ask, "What is your relationship to the head of household?"
The relationship between the head of household and each person is required. The link may be a family relationship, a work relationship (chauffer, cook, etc.) or other (temporary guest, etc.).
2. How to record the answer:
a. Mark an "X" on the box that corresponds to the relationship between each of the household members.
b. Mark an "X" in the "unknown" box only if the respondent does not know his or her relationship to the head of household. These cases are exceptions, of course.
3. Example:
[This box contains question 2 of the section VI "people in the census household."]
