Interviewer instructions
Occupancy condition of the dwelling
Occupied with people present: if, upon visiting the dwelling, they open the door or answer
Occupied with people absent: if there are indications that the dwelling is occupied, but no one answers. In this case, investigate with the neighbors the reason for the absence. If it is momentary, you should visit again as many times as necessary on the day of the census. If, despite doing this, you are not able to enumerate the occupants, leave a citation and fill in the form with the information that the neighbors can provide you with about the number of people in the household; type of Household; data about the dwelling and the household. Furthermore, record this fact in the Route Form [Hoja de Recorrido: a form used to make a complete list of all buildings, dwellings, and households that exist in the Enumeration Sector on the day of the census], also noting on that form the number of people who occupy the dwelling.

For rent or sale;
