Interviewer instructions

State of repair of the walls

a) Very good. Without any apparent defects.

b) Acceptable. Walls that have defects in their appearance, perhaps of some seriousness, but which in no way affect their strength. Examples: water stains, some stucco falling off, some superficial cracks.

c) Bad. Walls that have many cracks, are not square (crooked), are totally or partially detached from other walls in the dwelling, with holes, pieces that are detached, soaked, or eaten away at the base, rotten wood, tilted (azumagadas) at the lower end, especially the (vertical) posts. In general, it is of interest to know the condition of the walls, preferably with respect to their strength or grade of firmness. The enumerator should not judge exclusively by the appearance of the exterior nor by easily reparable deterioration, such as defects in the paint or stucco. A wall should not be classified as bad simply because of being in an old building.
