Section 4a - The census in urban areas
[Text omitted, Introduction and Workload]
[pg.9]
Dwelling Types
A dwelling is simply a place where people live. There are two main types of dwellings. These are (a) private dwellings and (b) special dwellings.
Private dwellings (PDs) are places such as flats; duplexes; domestic quarters and ordinary houses. Each house and each flat in a block of flats is a separate private dwelling.
Special dwellings include places such as hostels; workers quarters for single men, hospitals; corrective institutions and so forth. These places mostly have single people living in them. (See section 8 on Special Dwellings).
The Listing Sheets
For each Census Unit there will be a listing sheet showing the type and location of each dwelling. The following lists the information given in the listing sheet.
(See example of listing sheet at the end of this section)
(i) Street and area - this has the name of the street that each dwelling is in.
(ii) Section and Lot - where the Section and Lot number is known this is entered in this column.
(iii) BLDG NO. (Building Number) - Each separate building is allocated a number. The first building has number 01; the second 02 and so on.
(iv) No. of PDs (No. of Private Dwellings)- The only entries in this column are
'1'- this indicates one private dwelling.
'S.D' - indicates a special dwelling.
'__' or blank - indicates a building with no people living there at the time of listing.
[pg.10](v) Further Identification - This column is used to record the type of house and any numbers which may be on the house, or any features of the dwelling which stand out and make identification easier.
(vi) Int. Use Only (check) if completed- When you have finished the interview dwelling then put a tick in this column.
How are dwellings listed
(i) Each building in the CU is written down on the list.
(ii) Each dwelling in a building is written down on a separate line. For example if there is a block of 10 flats, each flat will be written on a separate line.
(iii) Sketch maps are sometimes drawn of parts of CUs. Numbers given in the Further Identification column will refer to the number given on the sketch map.
Similarly -
(iv) Sketch maps are sometimes drawn of particular buildings. For example -- for a block of flats sketch maps are drawn to show exactly when· each flat is.
If there are no door numbers on each flat a coded letter e.g. A, B, C, is given to each on the sketch map.
These letters are also written in the further identification column of the listing sheet.
This listing sheet together with your CU map and an aerial photograph will help you to find each dwelling in your CU. If you find any new dwellings, you must write this on the end of your list then interview the people who live there, and tell your Supervisor about it.
