Dwelling Unit

193. The accommodation occupied by one household is the dwelling unit. And we are concerned in this section with the housing arrangements for this household - with the accommodation it occupies - with its living quarters.



Type of dwelling unit

194. Ask yourself, "What kind of dwelling unit does this household occupy?" Tick the appropriate box. If none is appropriate, tick box 5 and describe the dwelling unit.

195. If the household occupies the whole of the housing unit, tick "main". If the household occupies the greater part of the housing unit, tick "main". If the household occupies a room or rooms of the housing unit, but not the greater part of it, tick "room or rooms".

196. The household may occupy accommodation which is not intended for habitation - for example, a store, basement, go-down or garage. In such cases, tick the appropriate box. If none is appropriate tick box 6. and describe the dwelling as best you can.
