Question 1: What is your relation to the head of household?
If you are interviewing the head of household (the first person recorded in question 2 of the fourth section), don't ask them this question. Instead, circle option 1, "Head of Household."
Do ask the rest of the people their relationship to the head of household and circle the corresponding option.
[p. 45]
Head of household. This is the person recognized as such by other household members and who lives permanently in the dwelling.
Other Relative. This includes blood relatives of the head of household: aunts and uncles, cousins, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews, siblings, etc.
Boarder. This is a person who pays the head of household for the right to live in the dwelling and to eat within the household.
Example: Juan Pérez is the head of household. If you interview his daughter, Camila, then you would circle option number 3, "child/stepchild," for this question.
