Interviewer instructions
[Question No. 1]
[The following directions refer to a graphic representing question 1, "type of dwelling", in this section of the enumeration form.]
For this question you should signal with an x the box that corresponds to the type of dwelling, whether it be a family or a non-family dwelling, and within these groups [you should signal] the corresponding category, taking into account the following basic conditions in order to place them into each category:
Single family home: Any permanent building made with resistant materials such as [p. 9] concrete, rock, brick, adobe or wood and which has floors made of wood, tile or brick and which has a ceiling.
Apartment: Is a group of rooms, constructed, reconstructed, or adapted for housing people and is characterized by forming part of a building of one or more floors, having a separate entrance, and an exclusive-use water supply and toilet facilities.
Room in a rooming house: Is a room or group of rooms in a building, constructed, adapted, or prepared generally for housing as many households as it has rooms. It can happen that one household occupies more than one room or that a single room is occupied by more than one household. Generally, a room in a rooming house doesn't have exclusive use of the water supply, toilet or bathing facilities, even though [p. 10] it can have a kitchen or cooking facilities as part of the unit. They are further characterized by a common entrance, directly from a hallway, patio, or corridor.
Mediagua (small construction with sloped roof): Is a building of only one floor, with walls made of adobe, without a ceiling (tumbado) and with earth floors.
Straw house: Is a building with a covering of palm branches, straw, or any other plant and with walls made of cane or a mixture of sticks, cane, and mud, without a ceiling and with a floor made of cane or earth.
Rustic cabin (choza): Is any building that has adobe or straw walls, an earth floor, and a straw roof.
Watchman's residence (guachimanía): Is a provisional building where a person who takes care of a building under construction lives. This person can live alone or with their family.
Places not intended for use as a dwelling: These are spaces not [p. 11] meant to serve as a dwelling for people, as for example: granaries, garages, booths (casetas), warehouses, factories, hospitals, etc.
[Note that for question 1, there are various discrepancies between the enumerator's manual and the enumeration form. Items that appear on the enumeration form but not in the enumerator's manual include "rancho or covacha" (poor construction possibly with cane or straw roof) and all items under the collective dwelling heading. Items appearing in the enumerator's manual but not on the enumeration form are "straw house" and "watchman's residence."]
