Dwelling -- Household Relationship

[The form contains a table to indicate the number of household in the dwelling and the number of males and females within each household. Below, we show an English translation of the column and row headings is provided.]

Households in the dwelling [column headings]

Occupants [row headings]

7. Rooms ____

Total number of rooms (excluding bathrooms and kitchens).

13. Starting with item 7, the data that you collect will refer to the space occupied by each household in the dwelling.

In item7, we move on to registering the number of rooms occupied by each [household] in the dwelling.

Each room that has the capacity for an adult-sized bed is considered a room. In consequence, when you register the number of rooms you will count all of those that have the capacity for [adult-sized bed].

[p.75]

14. Although every room with capacity to [an adult-sized bed] is considered [room], you will exclude from this criteria the kitchen, the bathroom, the laundry room, the garages, the storage areas, and the rooms used for industrial and commercial purposes, unless they are used for housing.

[p.76]

15. Of the following cases, which are considered rooms? (Answer yes/no.)

[p.77]

16. Any room with capacity to hold an adult-sized bed is considered [room].
The [bathroom] and the [kitchen] are not counted as rooms.

[p.78]

17. Mark which space from the following list would be considered a room:

B. Dwelling

5. Number of rooms excluding the bathroom or kitchen:

B. Dwelling

It is any housing fixed or mobile that has been built or adapted for housing persons. A house, apartment, trailer, tenant room, shack, hospital, and a room are all considered dwellings.

I. Characteristics of the dwelling for the only household or for the first household
[Questions 1-9]

[Questions 2-16 were addressed only in case of an occupied dwelling, with occupants present, per Question 1.]

II. Habitational Characteristics of the Dwelling- for each household
[Questions 10-16]

10. How many rooms are for the exclusive use of the household, excluding the bathroom or kitchen?

2. Household habitation characteristics -- for all households

In this part of the document we will know the characteristics of the part of a dwelling that a household occupies. Because of this, always, in all households we fill out this part of the Document.

Question 10 refers to the number of rooms for the exclusive use of the household.

[Questions 5-24 were asked in the case of households that occupied some structure, per question 4.]

21. In total, how many rooms does this dwelling have (apart from bathrooms and kitchens)? _ _

Questions 20 and 21:

A room or bedroom is considered to be a space or area that is closed in by walls (that go from the floor to the ceiling) or dividers (walls that go from the floor to the height of two meters, and that have sufficient surface to place at least an adult-size bed.

If the dwelling has only one room in which they also cook, you will complete 01 (one) room or bedroom in both questions.

In question 20, you should only count the rooms or spaces used by the household for sleeping.

[p. 35]

On the other hand, question 21 asks for the total number of rooms that are in the household, including the ones counted in the previous questions.

In the total number of rooms or spaces, you should count:

--the dining room, even if it is part of the kitchen (kitchen-dining room),
--the mezzanines built into some dwellings, even though they do not have some/any of the walls indicated in the definition.

You will exclude:

--bathrooms,
--kitchens used only for cooking,
--laundry areas, garages, sheds, corridors and entryways, unless they are used as a place for a person to sleep,
--Quinchos [a shelter that has a straw or thatched roof, supported only by columns, that does not have walls and is used as an area for eating] that are not enclosed.

You will register the answer according to what the person answering the census tells you.
Now we will continue with the instructions to complete the answers for

[Questions 3 to 19 were asked of inhabited households with persons present]

16. In total, how many rooms does this household have? (without counting bathroom(s) and kitchen(s))

Question 16. In total, how many rooms does this household have? (without counting bathroom(s) and kitchen(s))
You should count the total number of bedrooms or rooms:

- the mezzanines built in some dwellings, despite not having some of the walls that are indicated in the definition.

Excluded are:

-Bathrooms,
-Rooms that are used exclusively for cooking,
-Laundry areas, garages, shed, halls and entryways, unless they are used as a place for a person to sleep,
-Patios without a roof.

Total rooms or spaces that the household has: the total of rooms available to the household, including those that are in conditions to be used for sleeping. Count: the dining room, the living room, (even if they are integrated with the kitchen: kitchen-dining) and the mezzanines (bult in some houses, despite not having some of the walls indicated in the definition). Exclude: bathrooms, kitchens (used exclusively for cooking), laundry areas, garages, corredors, halls, entryways, and covered patios (only and if they are not used for any person to sleep there) and unenclosed patios.

Q14. How many rooms does your household have exclusive use of? _ _
How many rooms does your household share with other households? _ _

B.14 How many rooms does your household use?

The room is the part of the house, flat, dormitory, which is divided from other parts with the walls and partitions and is determined for living, having a rest, for having classes (in dormitories, children homes and so on).

The attics, balconies and other verandas that are equipped and are fit for living during the whole year are considered to be rooms.

The kitchens, halls, bath rooms, cellars and other additional buildings of he flat and dormitory, are not considered to be rooms.

For example; if two households are living together in the dwelling unit that has 3 rooms fit for living and each of them is using one room and the third room is shared, then part B.14 of the questionnaire is filled in the following way:
Separate - 1
With other households together - 1
Besides the recurrent number of the dwelling unit in the questionnaire made for these households must be the same (see page 21).

[p. 36]

If the household uses the part of the room, then it is written
Separate - 0
With other households together - 1
If the given dwelling unit is used by only one household, then the number of the rooms will be shown in the "Separate" line and in the "With other households together" line 0 will be written.

B5. Number of rooms occupied by household ___

Questions for the households

Sections B, C and D are to be filled out by occupied households.

Question B.5

How many rooms do your household use?

The room is the part of the house, flat, dormitory, which is divided from other parts with the walls and partitions and is determined for living, having a rest, for having classes (in dormitories, children homes and so on).
The attics, balconies, and other verandas that are equipped and are fit for living during the whole year are considered to be rooms. The kitchens, halls, bathrooms, cellars and other additional buildings of the flat and dormitory, are not considered to be rooms.
For example, if two households are living together in the dwelling unit that has 3 rooms fit for living and each of them is using one room and the third room is shared then the Question B.5 is filled in 2.
Besides the recurrent number of the dwelling unit in the questionnaire made for these households must be the same.
If the household uses the part of the room, then "1" is written.

For Question 3, Number of living quarters:

The size of the dwelling is not only illustrated through the answer concerning the usable area of the dwelling, but also through the number of living quarters. Please observe that in most cases--under the noncompliance of the explanations--also the adjoining rooms are counted as living quarters. See to a correction, if necessary.

3, Equipment and size of the housing unit:
In points a) through e) of this question all present rooms and other equipment characteristics of the housing unit should be marked: a kitchenette or a shower stall are parts of another room, kitchen or bath room are individual rooms.
Flush toilets within the housing unit should also be marked if the toilet is found in the bathroom.
In point f) the number of living rooms should be entered. Considered as such are: living room, bedroom, child's room, guest room (for relatives, acquaintances) provided their floor space amounts to at least sq.m.
Not considered living rooms are: kitchens, combined kitchen/living rooms and other adjoining rooms (lobby, hallway, bathroom, storage room, pantry, closet, terrace, etc.).
Commercially used rooms and guest rooms that are never used for living purposes by the owner should not be included; however, rooms that are only used seasonally as guest rooms and for the rest of the year are used by the household should be included.

[p. 56]

Use of a house garden should only be indicated if the possibility to use a garden belonging directly to the house exists.
Garage space for private cars should be marked if a private car of the household is parked in an individual or community garage of the building or the residential complex.
Parking space for private cars should be marked if a parking space (outdoors) is reserved for this housing unit or if, in the case of single or two family homes, the property has a parking space. "Parking spaces" on public roads should not be included.

Enumerator guideline:
The subdivision in blocks serves the clarity: first adjoining rooms, then sanitary facilities and "external" quality characteristics. It is started with the adjoining rooms, so that these -because they were already entered - are not counted with the living rooms. Please pay attention to this and prompt a correction if necessary.

Purpose of the question:
The number and type of rooms is, next to the usable floor space, the most important information on housing unit size; this question together with the question on type of heating serves as the basic classification of housing units in Austria (categories of the Rent Act).
Despite all modernization efforts, some older housing units still do not conform to present quality requirements. A modernization with the goal of improving the providing of the population with good and affordable housing units, therefore, remains an important task of the federation, states and municipalities.

1. Location and facilities of the housing unit (please mark all appropriate items):

1. Location and facilities of the housing unit:
Explanation: If the rooms of a given housing unit are arranged one above the other on two or more floors, the floor on which the main entry door to the housing unit is located should be indicated.

A habitable attic is defined as all stories with (partially) inclined ceilings throughout (even those with semi-high exterior walls) regardless of whether the interior work was done when the building was initially built or subsequently.

In this question important rooms and other facilities of the housing unit should be indicated.

A kitchenette is part of another room.

[p. 56]

You should mark WC inside the housing unit even if it is located in the bathroom.

Inhabitable rooms are defined as living rooms, bedrooms, nurseries and "guest rooms" (for relatives, acquaintances). Not included in inhabitable rooms are: storage rooms, pantries, walk- in closets, verandas, etc.

Rooms used for commercial purposes and rooms rented out to tourists that are never used by the household for living purposes should not to be included here. Rooms that are rented to boarders only seasonally and used by the household the rest of the year should be included in this count.

Because the answer to the third section of this question affirms the housing unit category -- a very important statement about the housing unit -- the question is double verified by a "no" box row.

If central heating is present in a housing unit, but an individual stove (e.g. tiled stove) is used as the primary heating type (see question 3), "Central heating" should be marked in question 1.3. (In question 3 then, the actual primarily used type of heating will be specified.)

How many persons live in high rises or upper floors?

If an elevator is present in the building in a municipal area, housing quality increases with ascending height. If, on the other hand, no elevator is present, the housing quality strongly decreases with increasing number of stories - especially the higher the occupant's age. (With older buildings the presence of an elevator is saved from the 1991 census, or it comes from question 5 of the building data form, if an elevator was installed in the last 10 years.)

The question about the amenities, serves the basic classification of the housing units in Austria (Categories of the Tenancy Law).

Despite all modernization efforts, some older housing units still do not conform to present quality requirements. A renovation with the goal of providing as many sections of the population with good and affordable housing units, therefore, remains an important task of the federation, states and municipalities.

The number of rooms is, next to the usable floor space, the most important information on housing unit size. The presence of a room per person (e.g. separate nursery) is often considered desirable.

Questions 5 - 7 to be completed for the household

6. Number of occupied rooms

Questions 5P - 7P. are to be completed for households.

Before completing questions 5P - 7P, in a special box of the line "No. of the first member of the household within the dwelling" the serial number is to be entered, under which the person recorded first in the household is specified in column 1 of section 1 of the list of residents in the dwelling. In accordance with the example given on page 10, the following numbers of "the first members of households within the dwelling" are to be inserted: for Tikhonov's household -- No. 1, for Rulev's household -- No. 3, for Bulgakhov's household -- No. 4.

Question 6P. Number of rooms occupied

The number of habitable rooms occupied by a household is to be recorded here.

The record is to be entered in numbers (e.g., 1, 2, 3, etc) in a special box.

If a household does not occupy the whole room, but only its part, the item "part of room" is to be marked.

If a household occupies two or more rooms, but some of those gives in rent, the total number of rooms (including those rented) is to be recorded.

Habitable room is a room intended for residence: part of a flat (hostel) separated from other rooms by partitions.

Attics, mezzanines, heated terraces and verandahs equipped for habitation the year round are to be included in the number of habitable rooms.

The number of habitable rooms excludes: kitchens, halls, corridors, bath (or shower) rooms, storerooms, and other subsidiary rooms.

[p.51]

Enter, in the space provided in the questionnaire, the number of rooms used as sleeping accommodation, or as living rooms, in the housing unit where you are enumerating.

The following are excluded: kitchen(s), toilet(s), bathroom(s), garage(s) and store(s).

However, if one of these is also used for living or sleeping accommodation it should be included - for example, a room which is used both as kitchen and living room would be counted. You will find examples of these in some rented SHHA houses in the urban areas and in rondavels in the rural areas.

If more than one household shares one living room, count it only once for one of the households. You cannot count it more than once as this would give an overestimate of the availability of accommodation in the country.

In the sample questionnaire in paragraph 139, the lolwapa in which the household stays consists of three huts, so 03 is entered in the spaces provided.

Q: How many rooms are there in this housing unit (excluding kitchen, toilet, bathroom, garage and store)?

Enter, in the space provided in the questionnaire, the number of rooms used as sleeping accommodation, or as living rooms, in the housing unit where you are enumerating.

The following are excluded: kitchen(s), toilet(s), bathroom(s), garage(s) and store(s). However, if one of these (kitchen or garage) is used for living or sleeping accommodation it should be counted as a living room - for example, a room which is used both as kitchen and living room would be counted. You will find examples of these in some rented SHHA houses in the urban areas and rondavels in the rural areas.

If more than one household shares one living room, count it only once for one of the households. You cannot count it more than once, as this would give an overestimate of the availability of accommodation in the country.

Example: The housing unit for the household was a traditional lolwapa, rented from someone, and as such the way the plot was acquired is not known to the household. E11 is coded 03 showing that there are 3 rooms used as living rooms by the household. The walls of this household is made of conventional bricks/blocks,the floor is made of cement/stones while the roof is made of corrugated iron. This is shown by the codes in E12, E13 and E14.

Box No. 15.- Rooms and Bedrooms

Rooms

A "room" will be considered as any one of the compartments or rooms used for purposes of lodging, including: living room, dining room, kitchen, bed rooms, studies, recreation rooms, servants' quarters, but excluding: porches, hallways, bathrooms, inner patios, except when these last ones are used as recreation room, library or other purpose of lodging in which case they should be considered as "rooms".

You should ask and write down the number of rooms according to the criteria explained above.

Those compartments that are used exclusively for commercial, industrial or service purposes, such as store, local store (pulpería), bar, workshop, barber shop etc. should not be considered rooms of a Dwelling.

Bedrooms

Bedroom is understood to be any room of a Dwelling that is used for sleeping.

Keep in mind that in the explanation about "rooms" it said that those compartments used exclusively for commercial, industrial or service purposes should not be considered. On the other hand, if in a Dwelling there is a place that is used as a workshop of a shoe store {a very frequent case) and at the same time someone sleeps in it, such a place should be considered as "room", and also so "bedroom".

7. Rooms and bedrooms

Total number of rooms ____

4.9.- Rooms and Bedrooms.

[Below the text is a filled out form.]

4.9.1.- Total Number of Rooms: Ask, - How many rooms does the dwelling have?

Remember that "Room" is any compartment or area that the dwelling has for purposes of lodging: Living room, dining room, kitchen, bedrooms, studies, patios, recreation rooms, servants' rooms.

To be excluded are: Hallway, porches, bathrooms, inner patios, depots or garages.

Those rooms that are used exclusively for commercial, industrial or service purposes should not be considered rooms of a Dwelling. For example: Office of a lawyer, dentist, doctor, store, local store, bar, workshop, barber shop, etc.

4.9.2.- Of these how many are Bedrooms?: A bedroom is any room used principally for sleeping.

In the case of dwellings of only one room, zero (0) bedrooms will be marked. It is also the case of places that are, for example: A shoe store's workshop, wine cellar, local store, or any other that also serves as residence to one or more persons. Those dwellings that consist of one room and that is used exclusively for sleeping should be written down 1 room and 1 bedroom.

Question 6: Number and Use of Rooms

(See Illustration on Page 22)

Every dwelling has one or many rooms whose inhabitants use for different purposes: sleeping, cooking food, eating, relaxing, or receiving visitors, watching television, listening to the radio, etc. Of course not all dwellings have areas so different it includes that in some cases some area single room that is used for all, what in popular speech people called and at times now call a round room (cuarto redondo).

[p. 30]

This question has been designed precisely to know the number of rooms, bedrooms or sleeping quarters that the Costa Rican dwellings have and which of them are occupied for sleeping, preparing food, relaxing, etc. All rooms or bedrooms of the dwelling that are used for exclusively professional, commercial, industrial or service purposes should be excluded, such as lawyer's office, offices, local stores or grocery stores, barber shops or beauty shops, "cantinas [bars]" or bars, workshops, etc. Also halls, porches, bathrooms, inner patios, depots or garages, etc.

{How to register the number and use of the rooms of the dwelling}

In the open boxes placed at the right side of question number 6 (Number and Use of Rooms), you should register the information turning to the use of two digits or numbers. This operation has to be done first to indicate the number of rooms. For example: in a dwelling that has 10 rooms (four bedrooms, living room, dining room, kitchen, television room, breakfast room, and a room for the servant, you should write down the total in the following manner:

[Below the text is a filled out form.]

Once you have registered the number of rooms of the dwelling it is necessary that you indicate how many are used for sleeping (remember that the room for the servant is where she sleeps), how many like living/dining room, how many for only cooking, how many for cooking and eating at the same time, and how many are meant to be for "other uses" without you having to write down what is specifically done in them.

Nevertheless, those dwellings exist that have a single room that its inhabitants use at the same time for sleeping, cooking, eating, and receiving visitors. You should consider them dwellings without bedroom, that is to say with "zero" (0) bedrooms, except in the case that this single room is used exclusively for sleeping. Then you should mark the digits 01 in the cells meant for indicating the number of rooms, such {0}{1} in those reserved for the concept "only for sleeping" it will have been indicated in the following form: {0}{1} that means something like "01 bedroom". The places used for commercial, professional, industrial or service purposes and that also serve as a residence for one or more persons are not considered as "only for sleeping" they are only registered as dwelling and as if it did not have a number of rooms, that is to say by what are referred to as rooms that are used as living room and dining room (living/dining room) and kitchen and dining room (kitchen-dining room) as a result obviously serve to fulfill two of the purposes that they indicate. Nor does any doubt exist when one talks about a room that is only for cooking ("only-kitchen); although in this case it can happen that any person or persons sleep in the kitchen (on the floor or on benches), but is considered as "only kitchen".

Caution. In the countryside it is possible to find that the kitchen is a "separate" construction from the rest of the dwelling. In this case it is taken as an integral part of the dwelling.

Finally, it remains for us to make some comment about rooms meant for different uses to those pointed out previously ("other uses"). Generally it concerns spaces or rooms that residents use as places or recreation and service. For example: Living room, dining room, study, recreation room, bedroom where also they cook.

Remember that no open box should be left without annotation, because of this, when there are no rooms of any of the specified classes, write down {0}{0} according to what it corresponds to.

9. Not counting bathrooms, hallways nor garage, how many rooms total does this dwelling have?

_ _ Number

Question 9: Total number of rooms

This question has been written to determine the total number of rooms or bedrooms that the dwelling has.

[Below the text is a picture of a floor.]

Room: Area separated from others by fixed walls, or permanent separations or differentiated by levels.

Total number of rooms: Include rooms such as: living room, dining room, kitchen, bedrooms, TV room, study, library.

Exclude corridors, bathrooms, laundry/storage room (cuarto de pilas), inner patio, terraces and garages; also rooms that are used exclusively for professional, commercial, industrial or service purposes: lawyer's office, doctor's office, store, bazaar, local store, beauty salon, etc.

Remember:

In the country or in rural areas, it is possible that the kitchen is a construction separate from the rest of the dwelling. In this case, take it as part of it and write it down as one more room.

The total amount cannot be less that the number written down in the previous question (bedrooms).

10. Including the bedrooms, how many rooms does this dwelling have in total? (excluding bathrooms or laundry rooms)

Question 10: Total rooms

10. Including the bedrooms, how many rooms does this dwelling have in total? (excluding bathrooms or laundry rooms)

For the purposes of the census a room is an area separated by fixed walls, or partitions such as closets, curtains, stairs, or levels. This includes rooms such as: living room, dining room, kitchen, bedrooms, television room, study, and library.

This excludes hallways, bathrooms, laundry rooms, sun patios, terraces, balconies, storage rooms, and garages as well as those rooms that are used exclusively for commercial, industrial, or service purposes: attorney's office, medical clinic, store, bazar, small store, produce stop, workshop, beauty salon, etc.

In the field or rural areas, it is possible that the kitchen is a construction separate from the rest of the dwelling. In this case, take it as part of the dwelling and note it as an additional room.

Section III. Information about the Private Dwelling

6. Number of rooms per dwelling

Question 6. What is the quantity of rooms that the dwelling has?:

This question [question 6] is related to the quantity of rooms in the dwelling and of these, how many are habitually used for sleeping and how many are used exclusively as bedrooms.

In this question the form of annotation changes, since they are not marked with an X for the answer, but you note a quantity (with numbers), which is given to us by the interviewee. You should take into account that you should note two digits, so therefore you will fill in a zero on the left when the number is not higher than nine.

Considering that generally the rooms are the spaces in the dwelling called bedroom, dormitory or room, living room, dining room, entryway, closed porch, garages, etc., whenever these same rooms are separated from each other with fixed walls that are two meters high or higher, and that in addition they have a surface area of at least four square meters and the kitchen if its size permits the placement of a table with chairs for eating in it.

Do not include the following as a room, even if it has more than four square meters of surface space: bathrooms, closet, interior hallways, open galleries, sanitary services, open portals, patios, balconies, terraces, etc.

Question 6.

In part A) of the question, you should write the total of rooms with which the dwelling counts, taking into account the concept of room given above.

Section III. Private housing data
[Applies to questions 1-16]

7. [Number of rooms]

Section III. Private housing data.

Question 7. How many rooms does the home have?
This question is related to the number of rooms the home has, how many are typically used to sleep, and how many are used exclusively as bedrooms.
The format on this question is different as the response is not marked with an X, but rather the number of rooms (with numerals) is marked as reported by the interviewee. Note that the number must contain two digits, so if the number is not greater than nine, place a zero (0) before the number.
Bear in mind that generally the rooms are spaces of the home, referred to as bedroom, living room, dining room, entrance hall, library, garage, etc., so long as they are separated by fixed walls at least 2 meters in height, with an area of at least 4 square meter and the kitchen is of sufficient size to allow for a table and chairs to eat in the room.
The following are not considered rooms, even if they have a surface area of more than 4 square meter: bathrooms, closets, interior hallways, open galleries, sanitation systems, open portals, patios, balconies, terraces, etc.
In subsection A) of the question, the total number of rooms in the home should be noted, taking the above into consideration.
Subsection B) lists the number of rooms that were built with the sole function of serving as a bedroom or sleeping quarters. All bedrooms will be included, whether or not they are used for sleeping.
In C), include all of the rooms that are used for this purpose, whether they are bedrooms or not.
Keep in mind that these are all the rooms used for sleeping, that is, the housing spaces that you determined to be rooms in subsection A) of this question and that are used for the aforementioned purpose.
As such, a living room that meets the conditions to be a "room" and is habitually used by one or more people to sleep will be considered a room for sleeping.
If you are told that a home has two bedrooms, but in addition the living room and dining room are commonly used for sleeping, you will note the number of rooms used for sleeping as: (04).
Example of how to answer this question:
The apartment that you visit has the following spaces:

You are told that in addition to the two bedrooms, the living room is used to sleep.
Remember that subsection A) is the total number of rooms, therefore subsection C) must be lesser than or equal to A), and B) must always be lesser.
As you can see, the bathroom, closet and terrace do not count as rooms.

44. How many rooms are there in the housing unit?

Section 4: Detail Information on Housing Units
General Instruction
The enumerator should closely consider the following points before collecting data about housing units.

Column 44: How many rooms are in the housing unit?

A room in a housing unit is said to be a room if it is surrounded by wails, if it has a height of at least 2 meters measures from its floor to its roof, and if it has an area of at least 4 square meters that can accommodate an adult's bed. In this question the total number of rooms that the household is used for various purposes is required and thus, the enumerator should note that the definition given above is valid for housing units having more than one room.

Therefore, bedrooms, living rooms, dining rooms, kitchens, and others, are considered as rooms. However bath rooms, toilets, corridors, and verandas should not be considered as rooms even if they satisfy the definition of a room. In addition, a manger is also not considered as a room.

For housing units used for both residence and enterprise, the rooms, serving both purposes are considered excluding the one used for enterprise purpose only.

A space to write the number of rooms is provided in the questionnaire and the enumerator should enter the number in the card column provided. The answer for this question shall never be "0 "since the housing unit the household is residing is considered as a housing unit if it has at least one room in it.

Instructions for Filling the Population and Housing Census Questionnaires in Urban Areas

Two types of census questionnaires are prepared for urban areas: short and long questionnaires. The long questionnaire will be filled in for the selected sample households, for all hotels/hostels and for other collective quarters' inmates. It should be noticed again that the short questionnaire is to be filled in for the rest households (for unselected households). The instruction given below is to fill in the long questionnaire and this instruction is again used to the short questionnaire because questions included in the short questionnaire are parts and parcels of the long questionnaire. The questionnaire is filled in for residents of housing units coded as code 1, 2, 3 or 4 is entered in column 11. Note that, only short questionnaire will be administered for homeless peoples.

Section 4: Detail Information on Housing Units

Dwellings and housing conditions
The statistics on dwellings and housing conditions are produced annually and describe the existing stock, number of dwellings, and housing conditions of household-dwelling units on the last day of the year.

Room and number of rooms
A room is a space with one or more windows that has a floor area of at least 7 square metres and an average height of at least 2 metres. A hall, porch, bed recess, etc. are not counted as rooms. Kitchen is not normally counted in the number of rooms.

3. Number of rooms in the dwelling not including the kitchen or rooms used for professional purposes.

Count as livable spaces in the dwelling rooms such as: bedroom, dining room, salon, parlor, studio, living room, etc., whatever their surface area, as well as the maid's room and lived-in attic garrets.

Do not count as livable spaces rooms such as: entryway, hall, bathroom, closet, alcove, laundry room, office, etc.

Special cases of independent rooms (for example: maid's room separated from the main dwelling)

Count these rooms amongst your dwelling accommodations if you use them yourself (either for housing a member of your household, a child, a servant, etc., or if it is used as a storage room.)
Do not count them if they are rented or sublet or leased to other people.
In this last situation, they are considered as forming a distinct dwelling, and their occupants should establish separate dwelling forms.

4.3.1. Question 1 and 3. Between questions 1 and 3, there should never be more than a single response: a room must be counted either in question 1 (if it is considered a kitchen), or in question 3 (if it is considered a dwelling room [pièce d'habitation]), but never both at the same time.
Case of dwellings comprised of a single room: In the country, one frequently finds dwellings (dwelling category 1) comprising a single room which serves as the common area, and which has kitchen fittings (faucet, stove etc.). In town, one frequently finds premises comprised of a single room (dwelling categories 2 or 3).
In all these cases answer "1" on question 3 and "no" (no kitchen) on question 1.
Question 1 - In the case of a furnished room which has a simple hot- plate and in which there is no faucet, check off box 6 (and not 5).
Question 3 - In accordance with the above guidelines, all dwellings have at least one dwelling room [pièce d'habitation]). Thus, question 3 will never have a response of "0".
In some dwellings, there is no separation (or there is a portable divider) between the dining room and the living room: in such cases, count 2 rooms if there is a divider [amorce de cloison] and only one room if there is none.

2. ___ Indicate, if there is space, the number of dwelling rooms having an exclusively professional use
(for example: businessman's office, medical or law office, tailor's apartment workshop, etc.)

Do not count as dwelling places rooms such as entranceways, hall, bathroom, closet, alcove, W.C., laundry, office, etc.
Special case of independent rooms (for example: maid's room separated from the main dwelling)
Count these rooms amongst your dwelling places if you use them yourself (either for housing a member of your household: child, servant, etc.; or as a storage room, etc.)
Do not count them if they are rented, sublet, or leased to other people. In this last case, they constitute, in the meaning of the census, a distinct dwelling and their occupants will fill out a new dwelling form.

3.1 Questions 1 and 3: Characteristics and existence of the kitchen, number of rooms.
The same room should never be counted at the same time in response to question 1 and in the answer to question 3. It should be counted in question 1 if it is considered a kitchen (answer Yes to question 1), and to question 3 if it is considered as a room in a dwelling.
In some dwellings, there is no separation (or there is a removable partition) between the two "rooms", (for example the dining room and the living room). In such a case, you will count it as two rooms if there is a partition and one single room if there is no partition.
The case of the dwelling consisting of one single room
It in the country that you may often encounter some regular dwellings (dwelling category 1) made up of one single room serving as a shared room, with some kitchen facilities (sink, stove, etc.). In the city, it is frequent to find some places (furnished bedrooms, for example) made up of a single room (dwelling category 1, 2 or 3).
In all these cases, you will answer 1 for question 3 (number of rooms in the dwelling) and you will check box NO (no kitchen) for question 1 ("Do you have a kitchen?").
In the case of the furnished bedroom where someone has installed a simple portable stove and where there is no sink, you will complete the answer question 6 by checking the numbered box 6 (No) and not box numbered 5.
According to the rules above, for all dwellings consisting of at least one room for living you should never have a blank response to question 3.

4.3.1 Questions 1 to 3.
Taking a census of the rooms
- The same room should never be counted at the same time in response to question 1, in the answer to question 2 and in the answer to question 3. It should be counted only:
- in question 1 if it is considered a kitchen (answer YES to question 1);
- in question 2 if it is considered as a room exclusively for professional use ;
- in question 3 if it is considered as a room in a dwelling.
Separated rooms
In some dwellings, there is no separation (or there is a removable partition) between the two "rooms", for example the dining room and the living room. In such a case, you will count:
- two rooms if there is a partition
- one room if there is no partition
[p.43]
Dwelling not consisting of one single room
It in the country, you may often encounter some regular dwellings (dwelling category 1) made up of one single room serving as a shared room, with some kitchen facilities (sink, stove, etc.). In the city, it is frequent to find some places (furnished bedrooms, for example) made up of a single room (dwelling category 2 or 3).
In all these cases, you will answer 1 for question 3 (number of rooms in the dwelling) and you will check box No (no kitchen) for question 1 ("Do you have a kitchen?").
In the case of the furnished bedroom where someone has installed a simple portable stove and where there is no sink, you will complete the answer to question 1 by checking the numbered box 6 (No) and not box numbered 5.

Questions 2-9 should not be completed for irregular dwellings.

44. Question 2, Regular dwelling is [Type of occupancy]

[Omitted, question 2 is repeated]

[p. 21]

Occupied Regular Dwellings

45. For case 1 of regular occupied dwellings select only if the dwelling is the main residence for the household.

A main residence is defined as the housing unit where the household resides for the majority of the year. As a rule, the main residence is located close to the workplaces of the household members, and it is considered by them to be the center of their professional and social activities.

The main residence is occupied:

In cases where these residences are used at the same time by a multi-member or well-off household and the residences are located close to each other, they should be treated as a single main residence (e.g., two flats in the same apartment building or two separate dwellings on a single plot used by a single household).

46. In case 2, select this response for occupied secondary residences.
Secondary A dwelling that is used at the same time as the main residence, and which is not a vacation home, is considered a secondary residence.

The main types of secondary residences are:


47. In case 3, select this response for occupied vacation residences.
Vacation residence is a regular dwelling usually located far from the main residence of the household (e.g., on a mountain, near the sea, in a mountain or seaside villages, near a spa, etc.) and is used for relaxation or variety (during summertime or at intervals during all seasons).

[p. 22]

Secondary and vacation residences should be considered occupied if, on the night of March 13-14,1971, one or more persons were spent the night there.

Vacant Regular Dwellings

48. For the vacant dwellings, select a single answer from the five options given for the second part of question 2.
Vacant dwelling is defined as a dwelling intended for housing that is either usually vacant (e.g., due to immigration or the former inhabitants settling elsewhere) or is vacant during the census enumeration for other reasons (e.g., a recently-constructed building, a vacant house for sale or for rent, a vacation dwelling, etc.).

49. For rent or for sale refers to a dwelling that is, for either of these reasons, vacant on the day of the census enumeration.

Dwellings that are inhabited on census day but that will soon be vacant and that are advertised as being for rent or for sale should be classified as occupied, not as intended for rent or sale. Always consider vacant buildings as being for rent or for sale if they have signs advertising this fact.

If there are no such signs, then record an answer from a respondent about whether the vacant building is for rent or for sale.

50-51. [Omitted].

52. For the last option, record the any other reason why the building is vacant (e.g., recently-constructed, unoccupied farm, vacant secondary dwelling).
Pay special attention to dwellings that immigrants' acquired after departure..

These dwellings are usually used during vacations or are intended for use as housing after the immigrant returns from abroad. These cases should be included in the "other reason" category, with the notation, "immigrant's vacant dwelling."

53. For the question on the "number of regular rooms", the number of regular rooms in the dwelling, except for the kitchen, should be recorded in the spaces provided.

For this question, there must always be an answer, since it is not possible to be a regular dwelling without having at least one (1) regular room. Regular rooms are considered to be bedrooms, dining rooms, drawing-rooms, habitable basements, attics, servants' rooms, and other separate spaces used or intended for housing. Kitchens, storerooms, corridors and halls are considered to be rooms if they satisfy the conditions defining a regular room (i.e., an area of at least 4 square meters, of suitable shape and with a source of outside light).

[p. 23]

Laundries, baths and toilets are not considered to be rooms, even if they occupy a large amount of space and have a source of outside light.

Regular rooms inside the dwelling that are used for professional reasons (e.g., a workshop, storerooms for agricultural goods, etc.) are included in the number of rooms.

If the dwelling has only one regular room that simultaneously serves all needs of the household (i.e., used for sleeping, preparing meals, dining, etc.), then count this room and note, in question 3, that there is no kitchen.

54. For the last element of the question, record the number of regular rooms used exclusively for professional purposes. These rooms must only be used for professional purposes, and must not simultaneously or during certain periods be used for regular domestic purposes (e.g., for sleeping, dining, or as a drawing room, etc.).

Regular rooms are considered to be used exclusively for professional purposes if they house a workshop in operation to produce, repair, or assemble goods, or a shop supplying services (e.g., a hairdressing salon, etc.), or the office of a professional (such as a lawyer, engineer, doctor, etc.), or serve as a storage room for goods or for materials needed by a professional.

Special spaces in farms (such as cellars) that are constructed for use as storerooms (for agricultural, commercial, etc. purposes) should not be counted as regular rooms and should not be considered rooms used for professional purposes..

If there is not a regular room used for professional purposes, record an (-) in this space.

Question 6 "Number of regular rooms except the kitchen"
[Omitted, question 6 as in the form]
In question 6, the number of regular rooms is to be recorded with the exception of the kitchen. In this case, there has to be an answer because there is no regular dwelling without at least one (1) regular room.
If the dwelling has only one regular room used for all household needs, i.e. sleeping, eating etc., this will be recorded as well as the answer 4 is in question 7.
If kitchens are regular rooms they are not to be considered in the total number of the other regular rooms of the dwelling in question 6.
The number of rooms used exclusively for professional purposes is to be also recorded. These rooms, should not be used at the same time or periodically for [p. 14] the household needs (e.g. sleeping, eating, occupied daily from the household etc.) but only for professional purposes.
The dwelling's regular rooms are considered to be used exclusively for professional purposes when they are used as a workshop for the production, repair or assembling of various products or used for storing various products or materials intended for exercising a profession or used as a shop for selling, providing services (office of medical practitioner, hairdresser's etc.) or they are used as professional offices (lawyers, engineers etc.).
If none of the regular rooms is used for professional purposes the answer in this question is 00.

V. Rooms and occupants

17. Number of rooms

V. Rooms and occupants

In this last section of the form, information of great importance for the Dwelling Census is requested, such as the number of rooms and permanent occupants of the dwelling.

a) Number of rooms (line 17):

You will note the number of rooms that correspond to the dwelling that you are enumerating, taking into account the definition of room that is given below.

This number, combined with the number of occupants, will permit us to know the occupational density, which means the average number of persons per room.

c) Definition of room:

You will consider as a room a space (room, bedroom, space) located in a dwelling that has a roof and it is enclosed by walls, which can extend to the roof or be interrupted at a level that guarantees effective separation from the neighboring rooms and that is used for the purpose of housing. Therefore, you will consider as rooms in the dwelling the bedrooms, living rooms, dining rooms, family rooms, lofts, studios and recreations rooms, kitchens and servants' rooms. Since in some case you can doubt as to whether to include some very small spaces, as occurs frequently with kitchens, you can adopt the following criteria to consider them as rooms: the dimensions allow to accommodate an adult bed and the minimum height is superior to that of a person (approximately two meters).

The bathrooms are not considered in any case as rooms for the purpose of the census.

The rooms that are used exclusively for commercial purposes, industrial purposes, or services, such as shops, stores, workshops, clinics, legal offices, etc. are not counted as rooms. However, if any of these places serve at the same time to offer lodging, as occurs in some cases in which the same room in which there is a shop there is also a bedroom, living room, etc., then you should count it as a room. The same criteria will be applied to the garages that are used for the purpose of lodging and the open spaces, such as passages, vestibules, porches, etc.

III. Living situation of household number

4. Number of rooms

Question 8: number of rooms

1. How to investigate this question

The following definition will help the enumerator in correctly investigating this question:

For the purposes of the census, a room is defined as the space, situated in a dwelling, which is enclosed by walls that extend from the floor to the roof, or at least to a height of 2 meters from the floor. This space has sufficient space for an adult bed; or at least 2 square meters. Therefore, bedrooms, dining rooms, living rooms, and cells for human habitation are all included as rooms. Corridors, open galleries, hallways, kitchens, and bathrooms are not considered to be rooms.

Rooms used exclusively for commercial purposes, such as workshops, services, etc. should not be included in the count.

Taking into account this definition, the total number of rooms available in the dwelling is investigated.

2. How to record the data

The number of rooms in the dwelling is written down in the space provided.

3. Example:

[These instructions refer to a graphic of question 8 of the census form]

III. Living situation of household number

The questions included in this part of the form should be investigated for each of the households that are residing in the dwelling at the time of the Census.

The following specific instructions will allow the enumerator to carry out the work more efficiently.

Question 4: number of rooms

1. How to formulate the question

To investigate this question, the definition of "room" (see page 40) and "bedroom" should be taken into account. A "bedroom" is a room usually used for sleeping. Therefore, before asking the pertinent questions, the following should be taken into account: When one census household lives in a dwelling, the number of rooms should be the same as declared in section II, question 8; with this in mind, the enumerator will ask:

A. What is the total number of rooms available to this household?, and;
B. How many of these rooms are used as bedrooms?

2. How to record the data

If only one household lives in the dwelling, the same number of rooms as declared in section II, question 8 is recorded. If two or more households live in the dwelling, the number of rooms and bedrooms available to the household in question is recorded, independently for each household.

Might be cases where two or more households live in one-room dwellings. In these cases, it will be recorded in the form that each household has one room and one bedroom available. This situation will be documented in the space meant for observations in the census form.

Section 4: Household housing status

The information you record in this section is for each household in a dwelling.

7. Total number of rooms
Ask, "how many rooms are there in the household, not including the bathroom or the kitchen?"

[A graphic of question 7, from section 4 of the census form, is included here.]

For the purpose of the census, a room is defined as a space located within a dwelling, enclosed by walls that go from the floor to either the roof or a height of two meters, and which has enough floor space to fit an adult-size bed.

The following are considered rooms: bedrooms, dining rooms, living rooms, rooms intended for lodging persons, rooms for domestic employees, and private study.

[p. 46]

Do not include bathrooms, hallways or corridors, garages, kitchens, or rooms used exclusively for commercial, industrial or professional purposes.

13. Indicate the total number of rooms used by the household (NTP)
87. The census enumerator (AR) must visit all the buildings which are part of the dwelling unit of the household, and count all the rooms that are available to the household members. He or she will write the total number (with 2 digits) in the appropriate box.

88. In order to count the number of rooms, here is the definition of a room that the census enumerator (AR) shall keep in mind:

89. Are counted as rooms: the bedroom, the living room or the dining room, whatever their footage, as well as the kitchens and the storage room if their size is large enough to be enable a person to sleep in it. The corridors, the verandas, the bathrooms and the restrooms or other premises shall not be counted as rooms.

90. If a room is occupied by two or more households (for instance the kitchen or the living room), it shall be attributed to only one household. Furthermore, it shall be noted that a hut (traditional or modern) is counted as one room if it is not divided into several well defined quarters.

Housing characteristics

H09 Number of rooms inhabited by the household _ _

H09 Number of rooms inhabited by the household
The number of rooms inhabited by the household are all the inhabitable spaces bounded by walls or partitions and the totality of which makes up a lodging, specifically, in this instance, the lodging inhabited by the [household]. A bedroom, a living or family room and a kitchen, if it is large enough to possibly place an adult-sized bed, are generally included here.

The bathrooms, the showers, the toilets and the verandas are not counted in the number of [inhabitable] rooms. A household may occupy 1, 2, 3 or several neighboring buildings to house itself or [lodge] within the same compound. In this case, the number of rooms inhabited by the household is the sum of the number of inhabited rooms in each one of these buildings.

[p. 59]

Given that the variable "number of rooms occupied by the household" is [a] quantitative variable, express the answer using 2 numbers, which you should write in the numbering grid. For example:
/_0/_5/ for 5 rooms
/_0/_1/ for 1 room
/_1/_2/ for 12 rooms

14. Household composition

_ _ Number of rooms
_ _ Number of people

20. Rooms: We call a room any space in a residential unit surrounded by four walls, except the bathroom (if it contains a sanitary installation). All the detached rooms (maid's room, garage, storehouse, etc.) must be counted as rooms if they are being lived in. The rooms serving only a professional or business purpose should be taken into consideration in the counting of the rooms of the dwelling. In the case where a single household living in several buildings or constructions in the same courtyard, their rooms will be considered as one single residential unit or dwelling.

21. People to count: You should count all people (including those who are temporarily absent) whose normal residence is found in the enumeration district which is entrusted to you. This corresponds to those whom we call the legal population which is made up of all people legally living in the country no matter what place they are found in at the time of the census.

By "temporarily absent", you must include people absent for less than 6 months with the intention of returning, such as people traveling, students in a boarding school, sick people hospitalized, people in prison, etc.

Question 14: Number of rooms, number of people
53. As defined in paragraph 20 of the manual, count the number of rooms as well as the number of people living in the household and write down respectively the numbers in the place indicated in the questionnaire.

Only for private dwellings
[Questions 9-16 were asked of private dwellings]

13. Number of rooms
How many rooms does the dwelling have? (Include the kitchen. Do not include the bathroom)

Cell number 13: Number of rooms
The number of rooms in the dwelling should be recorded in this cell.

A room is each chamber or space used for accommodation; this includes living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, and servants rooms.

There are some houses, particularly modern houses, where there is no separation between the living room and the dining room. There is a construction in the form of an "L" where, for example, one part is used as the living room and the other part as the dining room. In this case, they are considered to be two rooms if, in fact, there is no visible separation and the dining room is independent from the living room.

If there is a table in the living room used for eating, it is counted as only one room because it functions as both living room and dining room.

[p. 16]

Porches, bathrooms, hallways, or corridors are not included.

Rooms in the dwelling exclusively for commercial, industrial, or service purposes (e.g. stores, clinics, workshops, barbershops, etcetera) are not counted as rooms.

7. A room is considered as a place bigger than 4 square meters with door and window, and used for daily residence or sleeping. Consulting rooms, offices, workshops, etc., as well as a hall and a dining-room with a window are also considered as rooms. Places joining rooms through a hatch without door (e.g. alcove, dining-box) must not be considered as a separate room, it should be counted in together with a room or kitchen instead.

Question 7: Number of rooms

The total number of the premises -- in cases of rooms, kitchens, kitchenettes taking into account their total floor-space too -- of the dwelling (holiday house, other housing unit) should be marked in the printed boxes. While defining the total floor-space of the premises also the floor-space occupied by the built-in furniture and the adjoining parts of the dwelling -- like alcove, cubicle, and dining area -- should be taken into account. The common spaces serving different functions (e.g. cooking area and living room in common space) should be divided by the designations and should be enumerated as separate premises. In cases mansard premises, only the floor-space of the parts less than 1, 90 cm high should not be counted into the total.

Rooms are premises provided with direct natural light and ventilation (with doors, windows), with a floor space of at least 4 square meters, serving for sleeping or staying during the day (bedroom, children's room, dining-room etc.). The hall and the eating-place having also a window, as well as the premises of room-like character used as consultation rooms, waiting rooms, offices etc. also figure among the rooms.

Kitchens are spaces established and used for cooking (maybe, also for eating), of a floor space of at least 4 square meters, in general provided with direct, natural light and ventilation (with window, door). When assigning the rooms and premises for cooking by floor space, the floor space of the adjoining alcove or eating place was included into that of the respective room or kitchen.

Kitchenettes are premises of a floor space under 4 square meters, built and used for cooking. (To this group belong also tea-kitchenettes and cooking cupboards.).

If the dwelling itself does not have a kitchen or kitchenette but there is a summer kitchen which is used by the inhabitants of the main building as a kitchen it should be regarded as a kitchen. If the separate building where the kitchen was has several premises only the one used as a kitchen must be taken into account.

In cases of occupied other housing units the premises should be recorded according to their utilization, nevertheless the other housing unit consists only of a single premises the floor-space should be counted as it was a room.

7. Is there any...
A room is considered as a bedroom, a dining room, a living room.

Part J: Housing Conditions

2. Instructions for answering questions

a. Number of rooms in apartment
The ratio between the number of persons living in the apartment and the number of rooms in the apartment ('housing density') is the basic and most important measure of the housing conditions.
The data on the housing density is essential for determining the standard of living. This data can help government authorities determine regions where it is worthwhile to invest in projects such as 'Neighborhood Rehabilitation', etc.
Question 10.10 - In how many rooms do you live (including half rooms)?
Includes living room. Does not include kitchen, bathroom and a room used solely for business.

2.1 Indicate the total number of rooms (excluding bathrooms, kitchens, service areas and accessories)

A room is a space that receives direct external light, the size of which makes it possible to include a bed and still have sufficient space to move around in.
____

Question 2.1
Specify the total number of rooms in the dwelling, including those with an independent entrance that are functionally part of the main building.
Do not count bathrooms, kitchens, kitchenettes, service areas and accessories. When counting, remember that a large room, divided into various functions, or separated into two or more areas by arches or dividing furniture, must not be counted as one room but as various rooms.
Rooms with a kitchen area used for various purposes must also be counted.
The term room refers to an area that receives direct light from the outside, with space for one bed and for a person to move in. For example, bedrooms and living rooms that meet these characteristics are rooms. Kitchens, kitchenettes service areas and bathrooms are not to be counted as rooms, even if they meet these characteristics.
The term rooms with external entrance refer to those rooms that have a separate entrance from the others, but are still part of the main house even if physically separated from it. However, these rooms are a complementary part of the house and are used by the same persons that live therein.
The term accessories refers to cellars, attics, garages, etc., in other words, premises that are actually used on a permanent basis to service the house (even if they do not belong to the same building).
The term service area refers to the area for entering rooms, toilets, bathrooms, as well as storerooms and such. Therefore, entrances, internal stairways, corridors, bathrooms, locker rooms, storerooms etc, are considered service areas.
The term kitchen refers to a room (or part thereof) equipped with a system for cooking food and a place in which to wash dishes, that is used for this purpose regardless of the fact that it is also used to eat in, sleep in, or other activities. There are three types of kitchens, depending on the size and the use made of the room where the cooking is done:

a) kitchen with the characteristics of a room: this is a "traditional" kitchen the size of a regular room (see definition), used and equipped mainly for cooking and eating;
b) kitchenette: this is a small kitchen, smaller than the minimum the surface of the floors not counting the walls and excluding the service areas. If the dwelling spreads on various levels, or also includes an external entrance, count the surface of all parts.
c) kitchen corner in a room that serves various purposes: in large rooms this arrange is usually used as an eating area or small dining room, there is an area in which to install kitchen equipment. The main characteristic of a room arranged in this manner is not that of a kitchen, but that of a room used for various purposes.

Characteristics of the dwelling

The series of questions found on page two of the questionnaire will permit you to find out the principal characteristics of the dwellings: the materials that they are made out of, the number of rooms that the dwelling consists of and the use the rooms are given, the available services, ownership of the dwelling and the cooking fuel that they use.

4. Number of rooms

A room in a space inside the dwelling that is separated by permanent walls of any material. Remember that you should always ask two questions:

With the first question, you will know how many rooms are used as bedrooms.

With the second question, you will know how many rooms the dwelling has in total, such as living room, dining room, bedrooms, kitchen, etc. You should not count hallways nor bathrooms as rooms.

1.7 Number of rooms

Count the kitchen.

Total number of rooms ____

1.7 Number of rooms

The objective of the question is to know the total number of rooms that make up a dwelling, which are written down in the corresponding boxes.

Room is understood to be a space in a dwelling delineated normally by fixed walls of any material meant for the lodging of people and for other uses or activities of family life.

Any room that does not have four walls because they are circular (as occurs in indigenous dwellings and in some rural populations) or that [p. 68] are delineated with three walls (for example kitchens with a bar or other separation), should be considered a room.

Number of rooms refers to the total number of rooms in a dwelling used for lodging people, such as: bedrooms, living-dining room, kitchen, large room, study, service room, and in general rooms used for family life. Do not count bathrooms, hallways, garages and spaces that only have roofs (terraces, sheds and palm shelters).

[graphic of the question from the census form]

Be careful to count all rooms that a dwelling has, especially in cases where there are many dispersed rooms in a lot of land.

Wine cellars, granaries, and commercial places are counted in the total number of rooms only when any of the occupants of the dwelling sleeps regularly in this place.

Rooms that are uninhabited because they are in ruins or demolished are not counted; those being repaired are always counted when they are in condition of being inhabited.

The total number of rooms of a dwelling will always be greater or equal to the total number of bedrooms. Is this is not the case, clarify the situation with the informant and correct the figure.

5. Number of Rooms

How many rooms are used for sleeping without counting hallways?

Without counting the hallways or bathrooms how many total rooms are in this dwelling? Count the kitchen

5. Number of Rooms

Room is the space in the dwelling delimited, normally, by fixed walls and roofs of any material.

In the first question, only the rooms utilized for sleeping are considered.

In the second, include all the rooms in the dwelling: bedrooms, living room, dining room, living room-dining room, kitchen, living room ["estancia"], study, and service room.

Storerooms, granaries, commercial areas, stores, garages, or others, which are regularly used for sleeping, should be counted as bedrooms and be included in the total number of rooms. However, if no one sleeps there, do not count them in any of the questions.

[Depiction of this completed question on the enumeration form, and a drawing of a storage shed]

Double check that the total number of rooms in the dwelling is more than or equal to the total number of bedrooms. If this is not so, clear up the situation with the informant and correct the corresponding figure.

1.2 Number of rooms

Section I: Characteristics of the dwelling

If the class of private dwelling is an independent house, apartment in a building or tenement house and dwelling or room on a roof, ask questions of section 1.

If it is a premises not built for inhabitation, mobile dwelling or shelter, do not ask the questions of section I: Characteristics of the dwelling.

1.2 Number of rooms

The first question refers to the number of rooms (delineated by walls and roof) that are regularly used to sleep, although they have another use.

With the second question, it is to know the total number of rooms that a dwelling has: kitchen, living rooms, dining room, large room, bedroom, or study.

Verify that an informant does not include hallways or bathrooms in any of the two questions.

When in a dwelling, wine cellars, granaries, commercial premises, stores, depots and others similar spaces exist, they are thought of as rooms only if they are used regularly for sleeping. That is, count them as bedrooms and also in the total number of rooms. But if nobody sleeps there, do not count them.

Be careful to point out that all rooms of a dwelling are counted since in some places, the dwellings have separate or independent rooms in the same plot of land.

[To the right of the text is a form for 1.2 Number of rooms.]

[p. 56]

There are dwellings that have a single room that is used for sleeping, cooking, eating, etc; you should consider that the dwelling has a room for sleeping in the first question one room total, for the second question.

5. Bedrooms and 6. Rooms
Question 5 only considers the rooms that are habitually used to sleep, even though they have other uses.

[p. 78]

There are dwellings with various rooms and these are recognized commonly for the principal function that is carried out in them, like kitchen, living room, dining room, room, and bedroom among others. Record the total number of rooms that the dwelling has in Question 6.

There are dwellings with a single room that is used for distinct functions, like sleeping, cooking, and eating, among others. In these cases, record number 1 for both questions.

If there is some garage, storage, grain barn, or business that has a different function than sleeping, only count it if it is used for sleeping.

Confirm that the total number of rooms is always greater than or equal to the number of rooms used for sleeping. If it's not so, clarify the situation with the informer and correct the responses.

Areas used for storage do not count.

5. Rooms
How many total rooms are there in this dwelling, including the kitchen? (Do not count hallways or bathrooms)

5. Rooms
This question identifies the total number of rooms of the dwelling. Read the question, listen to the answer and record the number. If the respondent has doubts or you perceive that the answer does not correspond what you see, say him/her that he/she should count all rooms (bedrooms, living room, kitchen) that are separated by fixed and complete walls. Further, read the phrase "do not consider hallways or bathrooms" when you consider that the informant may include them.

[Figures are omitted]

Consider that some informants have a different idea about rooms. E.g., some people determine the number of rooms according to the functions performed (cooking and eating), even if they are not divided by fixed and complete walls. Therefore, it is desirable that you spend a little more time to ensure the correct understanding if this question and to support the respondent as needed. Keep in mind the following information:

Remember to check that the total number of rooms of the dwelling is always greater than or equal to the number of bedrooms.

This section of the questionnaire contains the questions you must apply in the households you have registered as: Single house on the land, house sharing land with other(s); duplex house; apartment in a building; housing unit in neighborhood or tenement and housing unit in the rooftop room of a building. That is, with classes 1 to 6 of private housing unit class.

6. Rooms
With this question, we know the total amount of rooms that make up the housing unit.

Read the question, listen to the answer, and register the number. If the respondent expresses doubts or you perceive that the answer does not correspond to what you observe, comment to them that they should count all the rooms (bedrooms, living room, kitchen) that are separated by fixed and completed walls.

Also, read the phrase "Do not count hallways or bathrooms" when you think the respondent might be counting them.

Consider that there are respondents who have a different idea of what a room is. For example, some may determine the number of rooms according to the functions performed there (cooking and eating), even if they are not divided by fixed and completed walls; therefore, it is advisable that you spend a little more time to ensure a correct grasp of this question and that you support whoever informs you when necessary.

In the image, there are five rooms that are divided by fixed and completed walls. Do not count the corridor and bathroom.
