Question H-23 -- Type of living quarters
This question has three parts. Everyone answers the first part. Only those who choose option 1 for H-23 will answer the other two parts.
"What is the type of these living quarters?"
This questionnaire will be used for households in housing units and for households in some types of collective living quarters. The choices in Questionnaire A are 'housing unit' or one of the different kinds of collective living quarters. If you choose housing unit you will specify which kind in the next question.
Housing unit: A unit of accommodation for a household, which may consist of one structure, or more than one structure, or part of a structure. (Examples of each are a house, a group of rondavels, and a flat.) It may be vacant, or occupied by one or more than one household.
A housing unit has a separate entrance from outside or from a common space, as in a block of flats.
Premises not intended for use as living quarters, but used for human habitation at the time of the census, such as a barn, warehouse, etc., are also classified as housing units for census purposes.
Those who choose one of options 2-5 skip H-23a, H-23b, H-24 and H-24a, and go to Question H-25 on the next line. The others will answer the next questions.
