Question #2: Relationship
a. How to ask the question:
What is the person's relationship to the head of household?
The association between the persons recognized as the head of household and all of the household members is required. This association can be through a family relationship (spouse, child, etc.) or through another cause (domestic employee or other non-relative).
b. How to record the information:
1) First, an "X" is marked in the box located after the word "Head". This person's information is always in the first column of the census form.
2) An "X" is marked in the box corresponding to the relationship of each of the household members.
3) An "X" is marked in the box "Unknown" only when the informant does not know the relationship between a household member and head of household. These cases are, obviously, exceptions.
