Interviewer instructions
This question is put to all households: For how many years has the household been living in the present dwelling? State the number of years: if less than a year write down 0 in the square. If only some household members lived in the housing unit during previous periods before or after the formation of the household, the period is calculated from the time the household was formed based on the majority of the household members. For example: If the head of the household has been living in the housing unit for 20 years and was married 10 years ago, the period is deemed to be 10 years. Another example: suppose some household members have been living in the present house and others have been living elsewhere, the period should be calculated on the basis of residence period of most of the household members. If the husband and one of the household members have been living in the house for 12 years, while the wife and three of the household members had previously lived in another house and moved to the present house seven years ago, the answer to the question will be 7 and not 12 years.
