Interviewer instructions

Question 7. How many rooms does the household have, not counting bathrooms, kitchen, hallways or garage?

Ask and record in the correct boxes the given number of total rooms in the household.

Here you include the living room; the dining room, if it is separate from the living room, the bedrooms, the room for music or television, the study room or office, the domestic worker's room; and other rooms that are used to store belongings or things; guestrooms, etcetera.

If a person lives in a room that does not have any divisions, in other words, the space does not have a wall made out of concrete, wood, drywall or any other material, but the room is used for sleeping and domestic use, such as a kitchen, then you can consider the household as having only one room. Therefore, in the Number of Total Rooms, you should record 1.
