Interviewer instructions
<span class="h3">III. Information about the household</span></p>

<p>The information for this part of the form refers to the "census household", which means, the set of persons who live in the dwelling.</p>

<p>5. Rooms in the household:</p>

<p>* How many rooms does this household occupy? Note with number, the total of rooms used as habitation by the members of the "household".
<br />- Considered as a room is the space enclosed by walls and roof, and in which at least the bed of an adult can fit. This includes the living room, the dining room, and the bedrooms.
<br />- Not considered as room is the Hall, the kitchen, the bathroom, corridor, shed, garage, etc., nor those that are used exclusively for commercial, industrial, or service purposes, such as stores, shops, doctor's offices, other offices, etc. Exception: if the kitchen is also used as a dining room, consider it as a room.</p>

<p>* Of these, how many are used for sleeping? Note here the number of rooms that are used specifically as bedrooms and those that, not being bedrooms, are normally arranged and used for sleeping.</p>

<p>* Does the household have rooms designated for cooking and bathing? We want to know if the "household" has a special room available for cooking and another for bathing.
<br />If the household has a kitchen or bathroom and it is used exclusively by the "household", mark the corresponding line, in box 2. If the household does not have them, mark box 3.
