Interviewer instructions
Question 5. What is the predominant construction material of the floor?

Mark an "X" next to the option stated by the informant.

Keep in mind that if there is more than one flooring material, you should mark the one that predominates.

If it is clear that most of the floor is dirt, don't ask about the material, just mark option 5, "Dirt".

Do not rely exclusively on the flooring material in the main room/living room because in some dwellings the rest of the rooms may be of a different material.
