<svar a="all" v="NI71A030"><span class="em">Question #2</span><br /><br /><span class="em">Occupancy of the private dwelling</span><br /><br /><div class="i1"><span class="em">a. How to carry out the investigation</span><br />The first item to be investigated is whether or not the dwelling is found to be "<span class="em">occupied</span>" (by occupants who are present or absent) or "<span class="em">unoccupied</span>" at the time of enumeration. If the dwelling is uninhabited, the reasons for this condition are investigated only for "family houses", shacks, huts, apartments, and rooms in tenements. Investigating the reasons for the condition of "unoccupied" brings up the problem of finding a qualified informant, especially when the owner does not live in the building where the dwelling is located and it is not possible to find him/her. In these cases, the information should be requested from a person who lives next to the unoccupied dwelling, on the condition that he/she has knowledge of the reason.<br /><br /><span class="em">b. How to record the data</span><br />Once the occupancy has been determined, the corresponding box is marked.<br /><br /><span class="em">c. Example</span>:</div><br /><br />[These instructions refer to a graph of question 2 on the census form]<br /><br /><span class="em">Reminder</span>: questions 3-15 only correspond to dwellings with occupants who are present and that fall in the categories 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 of question #1: dwelling type.<br /></svar>
