Interviewer instructions
A. Geographic location
In order to orient the enumerator, a "Map and/or sketch of the area" is included in the folder. Some location information is included in this map and should be transcribed into the appropriate spaces on the census form.
The correct positioning of the enumerator in the respective area and, therefore, the adequate location of the dwelling and population in the area should be carefully verified. Therefore, the enumerator should be careful to be well oriented before beginning the enumeration.
The following items should be transcribed textually from the map or sketch of the area onto the form:
[p. 21]
1. Name of department
2. Name of municipality
3. Segment number
4. Category: urban or rural
Urban or Rural status of the area is indicated on the map or sketch. Spaces have been provided on line 5 of the form where an "X" should be marked in the corresponding box.
Also, the name of the locality, neighborhood, colony, or settlement, as well as the building and dwelling number should be investigated.
Once this information for lines 1-5 is recorded in the census form, the name of the locality, i.e. city, town, county center (cabecera municipal), or settlement is recorded in line 6. In cases of small localities, the name by which it is most commonly known is recorded (see definition of locality).
Definition of locality:
A locality is every grouping of population, also called a populated center, which can form a city, town, village, or settlement, whose inhabitants live in dwelling units that are close together. A locality has a name or a territory that is locally recognized.
A dwelling is not considered to be in a locality when it is found to be extremely separated from other dwellings and is distant from the populated center. In this case, the word "Scattered" is recorded in line 6.
Urban area enumerators:
The name of the neighborhood or urban district within the locality is recorded in line 8.
The street or avenue number is recorded in line 9. When the official name or number is not known, the name by which the street or road is known locally is recorded.
The building number, according to the municipal registry plate, is recorded on line 10. Generally, the building number will be the same as the dwelling number that is recorded on line 11. When a municipal plate does not exist, the number marked by the "SNEM" is recorded.
[p. 22]
The name of the region (comarca) in which the dwelling and population are located is recorded in line 12. The enumerator should always be aware of his/her location because it is possible that the enumeration area be made up of areas from different regions.
Generally, a region (comarca) is made up of various localities and scattered dwellings.
The name of the road or path on which the dwelling is located is recorded on line 13.
The rural dwelling number, taken from the "SNEM" and corresponding to the principal shack (rancho) or house, is recorded on line 14.
