As mentioned previously, questions 1 through 9 of this section should be investigated for each one of the "dwellings". The specific instructions that follow will allow the enumerator to complete the work more efficiently.
Question 5: occupancy
1. How to investigate this question
The dwelling is investigated to see if it is:
A) Occupied: by persons who are present or by persons who are temporarily absent, or
B) Unoccupied: for sale, for rent, under repair, and other reasons.
2. How to record the data
Once the occupancy of the dwelling is defined, the number of the category is circled. If it is determined that the dwelling is unoccupied for any of the reasons given above, the interview is ended and the enumerator will proceed to the next dwelling.
