1. Number of People
Ask how many people live in the dwelling; for this, consider that a habitual resident is any person who normally lives in the dwelling, and sleeps, eats and gets shelter there.
[Depiction of this completed question on the enumeration form, and a related drawing]
Only when the informant has doubts as to whom to consider as a resident, help him out with the following criteria:
Habitual residents are:
Newborns who have not yet arrived at the dwelling because they are in the hospital.
People who are temporarily absent because of vacations, hospitalization, business trips, school events, or any other cause.
[P. 60]
Domestic employees and their family members who sleep in the dwelling
People of foreign nationality who normally live in the dwelling.
People who cross the border daily to work in another country, as well as those who return to Mexico on the weekends.
People who, at the time of the interview, are present in the dwelling and do not have any set place to live.
[There are drawings to represent each of the above examples]
The following are not habitual residents:
People who are visiting and live in another dwelling.
People who have gone to live in other places to study, work, or for other causes.
Foreign diplomats and their families.
Domestic servants who do not sleep in the dwelling.

If the previous criteria are not sufficient, ask where the person sleeps during the majority of the nights of the week; if the majority of the time they sleep in the dwelling where the interview is taking place, they are a habitual resident of the dwelling.
