Complete this item for all occupied housing units selected in your area. Circle only one answer for this question.
1. Count all occupied apartments in the house or building. Do not count stores or office space.
2. When one or more rooms have been added or built onto a mobile home or trailer, mark it as a "one-family house detached from any other house." If, however, only a porch or shed has been added, mark it as a "mobile home or trailer."
3. "A one-family house" is a building that serves as living quarters for one household.
a. Detached means there is open space on all sides or the house is joined only to a shed or garage. A one-family house which contains a business is also detached if the building has open space on all four sides.
b. Attached means that the house is joined to another house or building by at least one wall which goes from ground to roof. Some examples are row houses (sometimes called townhouses), double houses, or houses attached to nonresidential structures. Each house is a separate attached structure if the dividing or common wall goes from ground to roof.
4. If the building has 2 or more apartments, determine the total number of living quarters, both occupied and vacant, in the whole building and circle the entry for the appropriate category. Separate apartments in an apartment house, even though each may be occupied by only one household, are not considered to be "one-family houses" as the whole building is occupied by more than one household. Do not classify it as detached or attached.
5. "A boat or houseboat" - Circle item 8. A boat or houseboat if any boats or house-boats occupied as a housing unit.
6. Circle item 9. Other for any living quarters occupied as a housing unit that does not fit the other listed categories. Examples of living quarters that fit this category are abandoned cars, campers, tents, vans and caves.
