Question 1: Relation or Relationship to the Head of the Home
This question considers the relation or kin tie that exists between each one of the members of the home with respect to a person or reference member who for census purposes is the head of the home, and as such is able to form family groups.
[To the right of the text is a form.]
The head [gender emphasized] is the person considered as such by the rest of the members of the home or who contributes the largest part of the economic resources of the home, or in the last instance, is the oldest.
In non family groups the head can be one who has the most authority, the oldest person, the person who has resided in the dwelling the longest or the one who administers the place.
For all cases, the head should be a usual resident older than 15 years.
Although you should write down the relation or relationship declaredby the enumerated person, when doing it consider that:
a. For the case of domestic service and their family members you should keep in mind the concept of usual residence, as in the instructions previously given for its application.
b. In collective homes persons will be considered as non family groups, therefore, once a person is identified as head ["la jefa o el jefe"] of this collective home, the rest of the residents will be classified as "Others not family", even though they have some relation or relationship with this head.
