Interviewer instructions
Concept of dwelling:
This is all places delimited by walls and roof where one or more persons habitually reside, which means that they sleep, prepare food, and are protected from the elements. It also means that the persons can enter or leave the dwelling without passing through another dwelling, using direct access from the street or through a corridor. You should be aware that there are dwellings with one front but in the interior there can be other dwellings, which you will have to enumerate separately.
Type of dwelling:
You will understand type of dwelling as the form in which each of them is occupied. For the purpose of the census, they are divided into two large groups: private or collective.
Question 1
Private dwelling:
This is every dwelling that is occupied by one or more groups of persons or one person, linked or not by family ties. This type of dwelling should be structurally separate and independent. Private dwellings are also classified into the following types:
01. House
This is a habitation unit that has a solid construction, made to be inhabited permanently.
02. Country house (quinta)
This is a habitation unit that has a solid construction, made to inhabit permanently, and generally built in the outside of the city or in a rural area.
03. Room in a tenement
This is a habitation unit in a rooming house that constitutes an independent dwelling. The rooms are located along a common corridor and generally have some common services.
04. Hut or shack
This is any habitation built with rustic materials, generally tending to have a roof of palm, straw, etc. of limited durability. These are very common in the rural zones.
05. Improvised dwelling
This is a habitation unit built with discarded materials, such as cardboard, pieces of metal, plastic, scraps of all types, etc. This will include dwellings that are semi-destroyed by the earthquake, the war, and those in spontaneous settlements that have these characteristics and are occupied on the date of the census. Also this includes mobile homes such as boats, motor homes, etc.
06. Apartment or flat in a house or building
This is a habitation unit located in a building of permanent construction that has an independent entrance through a corridor or stairway with direct access from the street, that permits the inhabitants to enter and leave without passing through spaces occupied by other persons, and that generally have independent services.
07. Premise used as dwelling: (warehouse, garages, etc.)
This is a commercial space or construction that was not originally destined to be inhabited by persons, but that is occupied for this purpose on the date of the census. This could be a warehouse, workshop, store, abandoned railroad cars or buses, etc.
Collective dwelling:
This is a habitation or building where a group of persons reside without family ties among them and who share the habitation for reasons of housing, health, studies, religion, old age, orphans, etc.
Among the collective dwellings we include:
08. Hotels, hostels and guest houses
09. Jails and juvenile detention centers
10. Hospitals and sanitariums
11. Asylums and orphanages
12. Convents and boarding schools
13. Other type of collective dwelling
Observations:
a) The dwellings that house five or fewer guests or renters as habitual residents, for the purpose of the census, should be considered private dwellings.
b) The enumerators will enumerate all of the collective dwellings except the military institutions and the prisons, which will be enumerated by members of the Ministry of State and Defense.
c) In every collective dwelling you should investigate if within them, there is a dwelling for the caretaker, supervisor or administrator, or of any other person who does not share the common life of the rest of the residents and has a dwelling with his/her own family. In this case, these persons will be considered as residents of a private dwelling, and therefore you will complete a separate form.
d) The collective dwellings will be enumerated as if they were private dwellings, which means that you will fill in all of the form, with the exception of "Characteristics of the dwelling" and the question regarding family relationships.
