Interviewer instructions
<svar a="all" v="PT91A029 PT91A030"><span class="em">Question 7: Occupancy status</span><br /><br />First of all, in this question, we have to identify if the family dwelling is occupied or vacant.<br /><br />For <span class="ital">occupied dwellings</span> we must understand every housing unit that at the census moment was not being offered in the real estate market.<br /><br />We understand as occupied all the dwellings that have the following characteristics:<br /><div class="i1">a) It is a dwelling of <span class="ital">usual residence</span>, when a dwelling is the usual place of residence of at least one family. As for usual residence we understand the place where the enumerated live for most part of the year.<br /><br />b) It is of <span class="ital">seasonal or for secondary use</span>, when the dwelling is used only in some periods and when no one usually resides there. If at the census moment the dwelling is occupied only by non-residents, it will still be considered a seasonal dwelling.<br /><br />c) If it has an <span class="ital">emigrant occupant</span> for more than one year, or, if the occupant has been there less than a year but the emigration period is suppose to be longer than a year, choose this option.<br /><br />d) We consider that the dwelling has an <span class="ital">absent occupant</span> if the dwelling belongs to individuals that temporarily left the place that used to be their usual place of residence because they are absent for long periods of time in other place of the national territory.</div><br />As for <span class="ital">vacant dwelling</span> we understand all those dwellings that, at the census moment, are available in the real estate market (i.e. for sale, for rent, etc.).<br /><div class="i1">-- For sale;<br /> -- To rent;<br /> -- For demolition: is destined to be destroyed even if presenting good enough conditions to inhabit;<br /> -- Other cases: is vacant for other reasons different from the ones above.</div><br /></svar>
