The Help Icon will display a message “Help is not available for this question.” when there is no specific help text for a question. Screens are listed in 2016 CT US 16-84.
Off-Path Data
Any roster attributes (persons, demographics, flags, etc.) should be removed from the roster once they are deemed off-path. See US 17-86.
NRFU WHITE LIST
Text boxes in the NRFU instrument should only accept the following characters: a-z A-Z ñáéíóúüÑÁÉÍÓÚÜ 0-9 [ ] { } ~ % $ ? ¿ # @ ! ¡ - _ ( ) / : ; "' . , * + = |
Description of Global Options across all screens:
DK/REF
The DK/REF option for screens that have it available exhibit a global behavior and is not readily available on screen as an option. Once DK/REF is available as a response option, selecting either DK (if available) or REF will default the original response options to an unselected or null value. Similarly, with the DK/REF options available on a screen, selecting any of the original options will set the DK/REF response to a null value.
Exit Survey
Upon pressing the Exit Survey icon, a pop-up (not a hard/soft edit) appears asking “Are you sure you want to exit the interview?” with Yes and No response options in the form of buttons. Pressing “Yes” will take the enumerator through one or two additional screens before reaching CASE NOTES, and then back to ACTIVE CASELIST.
The fill for <PARTIAL ADDRESS>, <PARTIAL RESPONDENT ADDRESS>, and <PARTIAL CENSUS ADDRESS> will include any address information detailed below that is provided in the original Census address, and should be in the following format depending on the address type:

Question Wording choice logic:
These are the variables and logic used to correctly choose what wording should be used for that screen for any given interview. The logic below correctly chooses between the question wording of an “In person housing unit respondent”, “Telephone housing unit respondent”, “In person proxy respondent”, and “Telephone proxy respondent”.
If ATTACTUAL=PV then the “In Person” question wording should be displayed for any screens following the ATTEMPT TYPE screen with alternate question wording indicated in the Questionnaire Content Document.
If ATTACTUAL=T then the “Telephone” question wording should be displayed for any screens following the ATTEMPT TYPE screen with alternate question wording indicated in the Questionnaire Content Document.
If RESP_TYPE=HH then the “Housing Unit Respondent” question wording should be displayed for any screens following the ADDRESS screen with alternate question wording indicated in the Questionnaire Content Document.
If RESP_TYPE=proxy, then the “Proxy Respondent” question wording should be displayed for any screens following the ADDRESS screen with alternate question wording indicated in the Questionnaire Content Document.

Just to clarify, if it is an outbound call then instead of just asking for the best number to reach the proxy respondent question wording should appear the verifies if the number selected in NUMBER CALLED is the best number. If it isn’t, then wording appears to solicit and capture the best phone number.
Prevent adding duplicate phone numbers: When a user adds a new phone number, if that same phone number with PHONEASSOC already exists for that case, the system should not add the phone number to the case. |

Demolished – Mark this category for vacant units which are to be demolished if there is positive evidence such as a sign, notice, or mark on the house or in the block, that the unit is to be demolished but on which demolition has not yet been started. Burned out – if the unit is burned out and uninhabitable. Nonresidential – if no one lives there and this building is not used as living quarters (for example, as a business or commercial facility). Uninhabitable (open to elements, condemned, under construction – if the housing unit is open to elements, condemned, or under construction Empty mobile home/trailer site – if in a Mobile Home Park and the site was empty on Census Day. Duplicate – if the unit occurs twice in the case list or if the unit has two addresses associated with it. Multiunit, missing unit designation – if upon enumeration, you discover that the unit has two or more units within it that have unique addresses. An example of a missing unit designation would be a house (123 Main Ave) that is now divided into two apartments (123 Main Ave APT A and 123 Main Ave APT B). This case would then be deleted upon selecting this category, and you should add two new cases in order to enumerate the two units separately using their respective addresses. Restricted access – if the unit is not reachable due to scenarios such as locked gates or gatekeepers preventing access. Group quarters – if the unit is a group quarters. A group quarters is a place where people live or stay in a group living arrangement that is owned or managed by an entity or organization providing housing and/or services for the residents. Some examples of group quarters include college residence halls, nursing homes, group homes, halfway houses, workers’ dormitories, and shelters. Any living quarters that is occupied by staff members within a group quarters is also considered to be a group quarters, unless it has a separate address and satisfies the housing unit criteria of separateness and direct access. Other – if the unit is not livable and does not fall into any the other response .

A housing unit may be an apartment, a group of rooms, or a single room that:
For each unit in the multi-unit, select whether it is Occupied, Vacant, or Other.
Occupied: A housing unit is classified as occupied if it is the usual place of residence of the person or group of people living in it on census day, or if the occupants are away on vacation or a business trip
Vacant: A housing unit is vacant if no one is living in it on census day. Units occupied on census day entirely by persons who have a usual home elsewhere (UHE) are considered to be temporarily occupied, and are classified as “vacant.” UHE is defined as the place where a person lives and sleeps most of the time. The census defines everyone as having only one usual residence.
New units not yet occupied are classified as vacant housing units if construction has reached a point where all exterior windows and doors are installed and final usable floors are in place.
For each unit specified as Vacant, further classify it as one of the following:
For each unit specified as Other, further classify it as one of the following:
