Interviewer instructions
Fill out the second section, "Dwelling Characteristics and Services," for the main dwelling only.
Question 8: How many rooms does the dwelling have in total, excluding the bathroom, kitchen and garage?
If there is more than one household in the dwelling, the information about the total number of rooms in the dwelling should come from the respondent from the principal household.
Reminder
If the rooms are separated by curtains, fabric, plastic, cardboard, etc. they should not be counted separately. For example, if José has a single room whose sides are separated by curtains, you would write the number "1."
[p. 34]
Room. This is the space located in a dwelling, bounded by walls which generally go from the floor to the ceiling, and which has a surface area large enough to fit an adult-size bed.
The following are considered rooms: bedrooms, dining rooms, dining room/living room/kitchen combinations, studies, maids' rooms or utility rooms [cuarto de servicio], rooms used for professional purposes, and rooms used or intended for commercial purposes such as lodging.
The following are not considered rooms: hallways, entryways or sitting areas [sala de estar], laundries, kitchen/eating areas [cocina/comedor], and garages which are used as garages.
[The concept of room is shown using a floor plan as an example, which indicates the areas that are considered rooms or not.]
