The purpose of this column is to provide a precise count of the number of buildings in each enumeration district. Each building that you visit must be given a number in serial order as you visit it, starting from 001, 002, 003 etc. IT MUST BE EMPHASIZED
that the building number recorded on your enumeration district (ED) map must agree with the number in the Visitation record and on the front cover of the questionnaire, and you must follow exactly the route indicated on your enumeration district (ED) map.
The last recorded building number should indicate the total number of buildings in the ED and will be located close to the stop point on your ED map.

Description

Definition

The building is the most important unit of enumeration since each building, that is an independent physical structure, must be accounted for on the Enumeration District (ED) Map and recorded in the Visitation Record. It is the major means of checking progress in the field and the coverage of the census.
A building is defined as a physical structure, which is separate and independent of any other structure. It must be covered by a roof and enclosed within external walls. A building may be a factory, shop, detached dwelling, apartment building, warehouse, repair shop, poultry pen etc.
NOTE that detached rooms relating to main buildings are treated as part of the main buildings, for example detached kitchens, toilets, servants quarters, garages, etc.
