Question 4

-- Tenure

[These instructions refer to a graphic of question 4 on the census form]

This question refers to the form of tenancy [tenure] of the dwelling. Tenure is the form of possession of the dwelling inhabited at the time of the Census.

Three alternatives exist:

A. Owned

[p. 50]

Important: Those dwellings that have been personally built by the occupants are considered to be "completely paid".

If the dwelling is still being paid for, the monthly payment, in Bolivares, should be indicated.

B. Rented

[These instructions refer to a graphic of point B, rented, on the census form]

If the dwelling is rented, the corresponding oval should be filled in and the monthly rent payment, in Bolivares, is written down in the space provided.

C. Other form

[These instructions refer to a graphic of point C, other form, on the census form]

This is when the dwelling is provided as part of a salary or provided without charge by a relative or friend etc. This can also be any other form of system that is not ownership or rent.

Important: If there is more than one household in a dwelling, write down the form of tenure corresponding to each household.
