Question 2. Occupancy status
Determine if the dwelling is inhabited or uninhabited and make an X in the corresponding box.
Inhabited with dwellers present: a dwelling which, on the census day, is occupied and the people who live in it are present.
Inhabited without dwellers present: a dwelling which is permanently occupied, but on the census day, the people who inhabit it are absent. This condition can be confirmed by the neighbors.
If the neighbors indicate that the occupants are momentarily absent, reserve the corresponding Form for the dwelling and continue the Enumeration. When finished with the area, return to the dwelling that was left undone; if the occupants are still absent mark an X in the corresponding box and communicate this to your supervisor.
Uninhabited: a dwelling which, on the Census day, is not inhabited due to the following causes:
It is for rent or sale.
It is in repair, litigation, abandonment, etc.
It is a vacation or summer home.
The rest of the data about the dwelling in this category can be obtained by simple observation or by asking the neighbors.
