-- How long has the person lived in the populated area [locality]?

This question refers to the uninterrupted time that the person has spent living in the populated area where they usually reside.

If the answer is that they have always lived here, skip to question 10. Otherwise, fill in the oval corresponding to the number of years of continuous residence in the locality and proceed to question 9.

The number of times the person has changed dwellings in the same populated area is not important since it does not interrupt the time of residence there.

Care should be taken to not mark "20 years or more" if the person has lived there all their life.
