Answers should be furnished to Questions 19 to 28, inclusive, in respect of all private household (except those in mobile dwellings) and in respect of the houses, flats, or rooms occupied by such households.

Question 22 - Year in which house was built.
This question may give considerable difficulty, particularly in the case of the older dwellings, but it is important that at least an approximate date be obtained. If, therefore, the householder is unable to give any indication of the period in which the dwelling was built, the Enumerator should assign the dwelling to one of the age categories, having regard to its general appearance and to any knowledge he may possess or be able to ascertain regarding the age of houses in the neighborhood.
