<span class="h3">Part 2: Dwelling characteristics</span></p>
<p>This section contains questions and answers for the dwelling characteristics and should only be asked of the first household (household 01) in each dwelling. For unoccupied dwellings, only fill out questions 1-4 of this section and then go to another premise.</p>
<p><span class="em">4. Occupation status</span>
<br />This refers to determining whether the dwelling is occupied or unoccupied at the time of the census.</p>
<p>The dwelling is considered occupied with people present if the people are present at the time of the interview.</p>
<p>The dwelling is considered occupied with people absent when no one is in the dwelling at the time of the visit, but the dwelling has furniture and other frequently used items. Check with the neighbors as to a possible date and time at which you may be able to conduct the interview and write it on form FC-01, "verification of enumerator's route," in the "additional visits" columns. Also, leave respective form FC-23, "notice of additional visit".</p>
<p>The following dwellings are considered occupied, seasonal use: country houses, beach houses, and farm-owners' houses which are only inhabited for brief periods during the year and which are empty at the time of the visit. Fill in this option and proceed to another dwelling.</p>

<p>[A graphic of question 4, from section 2 of the census form, is included here.]</p>
<p>If the status of the dwelling is unoccupied and the neighbors confirm this, fill in the appropriate option and go to another dwelling.
