Question 4. Dwelling type (completed through observation)
Two types of dwellings will be observed as an enumerator: private dwellings and collective dwellings.
What is a private dwelling?
For the census, a private dwelling is meant to be inhabited by one or more households or a group of persons, related or unrelated, who live together as a family .
What is a collective dwelling?
For the census, a collective dwelling is inhabited by a group of persons, usually unrelated, who live together but not as a family.
Collective dwellings are classified by their use as: barracks, jails, hospitals, convents, asylums, shelters, or welfare institutions (asilos), encampments, etc.
[p. 49]
Important:
Other private dwellings, where one or more persons live, may exist within a collective dwelling. For example: a superintendent [superintendents - porteros often have an apartment in the building as part of their pay.] in a hospital, a hotel administrator, the families of officers in military bases, etc.
In this case, one form is used for the private dwelling and other forms are used for the persons living in the collective dwelling.
Reminder: a different number corresponds to each additional form and should be recorded in the dwelling form number box.
Private dwellings are classified, according to their structure, as the following:
[Illustrations of a pahuichi, an apartment building, and a tenement are provided]
House/Rustic Hut or Cabin/Pahuichi
[A Pahuichi is a hybrid construction; between a Spanish (peninsular) rustic cabin and indigenous (Bolivian) architecture]
A construction in which one or more private dwellings can be found and that has direct access from the street or from a common area.
Apartment:
An apartment is a dwelling that is found in a building or house and which generally is equipped with an indoor bathroom and kitchen.
Independent room or quarters:
An independent room is a room that, together with other rooms, forms part of a dwelling and has an exit to one or more common areas (hallways or patios). Bathrooms are generally shared with other persons from other dwellings. Independent rooms are usually found in tenements.
[p. 50]
[Illustrations of an improvised dwelling and a granary (not meant for human habitation) are provided]
Improvised dwelling:
An improvised dwelling is a space in which persons spent the night before the census day modified to function as a dwelling. These usually do not have bathrooms or kitchens. They can be constructed of waste materials such as cardboard, tinplate, boards, etc. Examples include: toldos [indigenous tents/improvised house], chujllas [huts made with branches lashed to a stick frame], anacas [a type of indigenous tent]
Mobile dwelling:
A place of abode made to be transported, such as: boats, railcars, tents, etc.
Building not meant for human habitation:
This includes stables, granaries, factories, garages, warehouses, offices, caves, natural shelters, guard houses, etc., where persons spent the night prior to census day.
Transients and persons who live on the street:
Transients are those who are passing through a place, having another place of usual residence. E.g.: persons who spent the night prior to census day at a market, airport, or tranca [a rest-stop or toll area where traffic on the highway system must stop in order to pay a toll].
Persons living on the street are those who do not have a dwelling; e.g.: beggars, alcoholics, drug addicts, etc.
If any of these cases are encountered, the following instructions should be followed when filling out the census form:
[p. 51]
The information for questions 1.1, 2.2, and 3 is recorded. Boxes for questions 1.2 and 2.1 are left blank. In Chapter B, the oval corresponding to transients and persons who live on the street is filled in. Finally, the enumerator should skip to Chapter D.
