Consider that all housing units have at least one room. Knowing the difference between a room and a bedroom will help you make a correct record, so it is important that you know their definitions:
[Figure omitted: image with text]
- Room. Space of the housing unit is delimited by fixed walls and a roof made from
any material, where some daily activities such as resting, sleeping, eating, and cooking, among others, are carried out.
- Bedroom. A room in the housing unit that is used for sleeping, regardless of whether other activities are also carried out.
If the respondent comments that there are rooms that are only used occasionally for sleeping, include them as bedrooms.
