Question 6: Type of living quarter:
The family dwellings can be of the following two types:
Conventional family dwelling: Division or set of divisions and their annexes that make part of a classical building, i.e., a permanent structure or a structure that by the way it was constructed, reconstructed, enlarged or transformed is destined to be inhabited and on the census moment it was not being used entirely for other purposes.
Non-Conventional dwelling: Place that on the census moment is inhabited by individuals and that by the type and precarious way of the construction does not entirely satisfy the requirements to be a conventional family dwelling.
We include in this type: Shacks, rudimentary wood houses, mobile housing units, dwellings in a permanent building not designed for habitation and other inhabited places.
As collective living quarters we understand every place that by the way it was constructed or transformed is destined to shelter more than one household and on the census moment is occupied by one or more individuals being residents or by-passers.
We include in this type: hotel or similar, camps and institutions.
In this last type we can identify the following sub-types of dwellings according to their purposes:
Social support
Education
Health
Religious
Military
Prison
Work
Other types
Note: We only observe collective living quarters if they are functioning on the census moment, namely the hotels and similar as long as they are available to receive persons.
