2. Number of Occupied Rooms
This is the total number of rooms occupied by the household. A room is defined as a living space surrounded by wall extending from the floor to the ceiling or roof, large enough to contain an adult-size bed, and intended to be lived in. The following are thus counted as rooms: bedrooms, dining and living rooms, maids rooms, room used for business purposes and any other space used for living and corresponding to the definition of a room.
However, verandas/balconies, hallways, entryways, kitchens, toilets,

granaries and other outbuildings are excluded. However, if the kitchens and the entryways are regularly used as living space they should be counted.
