Q10 "How many years has [the respondent] lived continuously in the state of usual residence?"
  • You may refer back to the state and county mentioned in question 9, "How many years has [the respondent] lived in Wulu county in Lakes State?" for example.
  • Write the number of years of residence as of census night in the boxes provided and shade the corresponding digits.
  • If the person has lived in the state for less than one year, write code "00" and shade the corresponding digits.
  • If the person is a visitor and has no usual state of residence, write "99" and shade the corresponding digits.


Be sure to check the duration of residence with the age of a particular person. If a person's age was given or estimated as 32 and the respondent states that this person has been a resident of the state for 35 years, then you should stop and verify which answer is correct -- the person's age or their duration of residence. A person cannot live in a state longer than they have been alive.
