Question 1.1
Dwelling refers to a room (or set of rooms) that is:

- Regularly dedicated to residential use;
- Separate (i.e. surrounded by walls and covered by a roof);
- Independent (with at least one external access that is either independent or through shared entry areas - road, courtyard, stairs, landings, common balconies, terraces, etc. - access, in other words, does not require passing through other dwellings);
- incorporated in a building (or constitutes a building).

Other dwelling type refers to dwellings that do not satisfy the above definition (being mobile, semi-permanent or makeshift), occupied by one or more individuals as regular or temporary housing (e.g. caravan, tent, camper, cabin, shed, cave, garage, basement, barn, etc.) as of the date of the Census.

Accommodation at a diplomatic or consular center refers to dwellings located in foreign countries.

Collective residential structure refers to facilities used to house large groups of people and/or one or more families.
