Question 4: The dwelling is:

A. Occupied
With people present:
Check this option when the head of household, or a person age 15 or older who is able to provide answers about the occupants, is present. Proceed to the interview.

With people absent (P.A.):
This is a dwelling that is occupied during the enumeration period but in which no informant is present at the time of the visit. Consult with the neighbors about when it might be possible to find the occupants (you may have to do this in the evening.) After a second visit proceed to fill out the "Announcement of a previous visit", in which you note the day and time at which you will return. If you are unable to enumerate this dwelling mark the appropriate option and fill out the Citation announcement form
.

B. Vacant
Occasional use:
This refers to a dwelling which has furniture and whose owner occupies it occasionally, usually for recreational reason, as is the case with "houses" located on the beach and country houses.

For rent:
At the time of your visit you note a sign which indicates that the house is for rent. If no one is there, ask in the neighborhood.

For sale:
At the time of your visit to the dwelling you note a sign indicating that the house is for sale, or someone indicates that this is the case. If there is no one to ask, check with the neighbors.

Under repair or construction:
Enumerate dwellings that are under repair, so that they may be inhabited by the owners or rented or sold. Include dwellings under construction if at least the walls and roof are done.

Other reason:
This is a dwelling that is vacant and which is not included in the previous options.
