Interviewer instructions
Fill out the second section, "Dwelling Characteristics and Services," for the main dwelling only.
Question 1: Type of Dwelling
Because this question is completed according to your own observation, you must have a clear idea of each one of the options. Circle a single choice for the appropriate option.
If you circle any of the options 1 to 8 in item 1A, "Private Dwelling," continue to question 2 in this section.
If you circle any of the options 9 to 15 in item 1B, "Collective Dwelling," go to the fifth section: Population Characteristics.
If you circle option 16 in item 1C, "Other Type," go to the fifth section, "Population Characteristics."
Reminders
Item 1A, "Private Dwelling," should only be filled out during the enumeration of private dwellings (normal enumeration).
Item 1B, "Collective Dwelling," or 1C, "Other Type," should only be filled out during the enumeration of institutional dwellings, transients (in border checkpoint stations [garitas] ports, airports, etc.), or for the homeless (special enumeration).
[p. 25]
Private Dwelling: This is a dwelling intended for one or more persons who are related by blood or, if not related by blood, who live as a family. Among types of private dwellings are the following:
[Each of the 8 categories below is accompanied by a drawing which corresponds to the description.]
1. Detached House. A detached house is a building which has an exit leading directly to the street, road, etc. and constitutes a single dwelling.
2. Apartment in a Building. An apartment in a building is part of a building of 2 or more floors and has access to public spaces through a hallway, open-air passageway [corredor], stairway, and/or elevator. It includes dwellings on the first floor of the building with direct access to the street.
3. Attached Independent Units [vivienda en quinta]. These units are part of a complex [conjunto de viviendas] of one or two floors. The units are grouped around an open patio and have independent water and sewer service.
4. Dwelling in a tenement [vivienda en casa de vecindad, solar], units grouped along a blind alley [callejón], or shanties built on a vacant lot [corralón]. A tenement is made up of buildings grouped around a patio or open-air passage. The buildings generally have shared water and/or sewer service
5. Shack or cabin. This is a dwelling which is normally located in rural areas and built completely (floors, walls, and roofs) of natural, local materials, such as stone, bamboo [caña], straw, stone and mud mixed, wood, etc.
6. Improvised dwelling. This is any independent shelter or construction, built as a temporary construction with lightweight materials: woven straw or reeds [estera], beaten bamboo [caña chancada], waste materials (cardboard, plastic, etc.), layered bricks, or adobe. These are generally found areas on the outskirts of a city, forming settlements or new towns, etc.
[p. 26]
7. Premise not intended for human habitation. This is a permanent premise that was not built, adapted, or converted to a human habitation but which is, on the day of the census, being used as a habitation. This category includes dwellings located in stables, barns, factories, warehouses, commercial buildings or offices, etc. This is an exception to the general rule.
8. Other. This is a resource that is not intended for human habitation but which, on the day of the census, is being used for habitation. Examples are: caves, abandoned vehicles, or other natural shelters. This is an exception to the general rule.
This includes any type of lodging which can be transported, such as a tent, camper, etc., or a housing unit which can be moved, such as a boat, a yacht, a trailer, etc., and which was being used as permanent housing for one or more persons on the day of the census.
Collective Dwelling: A collective dwelling is intended for habitation by persons, usually without family ties, who are subject to administrative rules and who live together for reasons of education, health, religion, work, or tourism, among others. Among collective dwellings there are 2 varieties: institutional and non-institutional.
[The text below is accompanied by 3 drawings of various types of institutional and non-institutional dwellings.]
1. Institutional
Hospitals, clinics, and sanitariums
Jail or rehabilitation center
Retirement home, children's home, orphanage, etc.
Other
Convents, monasteries and the like
Boarding schools: high school, university, teaching schools, military schools, seminary schools, barracks [cuartel], etc.
Camps or barracks [barracas] (military, workers, etc), warships or merchant ships, police, etc.
2. Non-institutional
Hotel, hostel, or lodging. It includes motels, boarding house, guest houses, etc.
