There are several types of dwellings. The agent takes into account the main type of dwelling in which the household resides. The officer entered the code in the box provided for this purpose.

2 = Villa: House with a living room (family room), one or more bedrooms and the following interior amenities: indoor kitchen, shower, toilet with septic tank , independent from building materials of the house. Houses have a single level, duplexes are included in this category. The villas are usually intended for the accommodation of a single household .
3 = Simple single house: Single house does not have the quality of a villa, that is to say, does not having all of the following interior amenities: indoor kitchen, shower, toilet with septic tank.
4 = Concession several housing: Construction without levels (floors) consisting of several separate units and able to accommodate several households (e.g. célibatorium). [#translator note: I could not find a translation for the term célibatorium, but it has as a root the word celibate, which refers to being single/unmarried. Thus it may be some type of housing for people in this category]
5 = Hut: Traditional style building, usually circular or rectangular, made of mud-brick or straw with a conical or pyramidal shaped roof made of branches covered with straw.
6 = Tent: Portable shelter with tight canvas or other materials that is erected outdoors.
