Interviewer instructions
3.12 The head of household - private households
For census purposes, every household must have a head.
The Head of the Household is the person, man or woman, who carries the main responsibility in the affairs of the household.
In most cases it will be obvious who the head of the household is. Usually it is the person who is the chief breadwinner.
In any event, the person recognized by the respondent as the head should be accepted as such for census purposes.
In the case of a group of unrelated persons sharing a dwelling on an equal basis, that member of the group whom the others acknowledge as such should be taken as the head.
A person running a guest house or similar establishment that caters to less than six guests is considered to be the head of that household.
In a one person household, that person is the head.
3.13 Head of non-private household
In group dwellings, the officer in charge, or the most senior staff member (if he is not a household member elsewhere) is to be taken as the Head. If there is no one else who fits this definition, use as the head of the household, the first guest, inmate or patient whom you enumerate.
In enumerating a household:
(1) Enter in the Visitation Record the name of the head of the household and the household number.
(2) Write in the name of each person who spent Census Night in the household on a separate questionnaire and insert the housing unit number at Question 1.
The order of enumeration which is to be followed among persons in household on Census Night is: whether:
(a) Head of Household
(b) Spouse or Common-law Partner
(c) Child of Head and/or Spouse (or Partner) in order of age
(d) Spouse of Child
(e) Grandchild
(f) Parent of Head and/or Spouse (or Partner)
(g) Other Relative of Head and/or Spouse (or Partner)
(h) Domestic Employee or Employee's Relative
(i) Other household members, not related to Head or Spouse (or partner).
(j) Other persons spending Census Night in the dwelling.
5.12 Ensuring that all Persons are included
When you have obtained the list of persons, check to see whether:
(a) any of the usual residents in the dwelling did not spend Census Night in the dwelling.
(b) whether there were any additional persons not normally resident who spent Census Night in that dwelling.
