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.

For nonresponse, “Please provide an answer to the question.” |
Special instructions |
For each contact attempt, instrument attempts to collect a GPS coordinate when a response is selected. Each time a response option is selected, keep latest GPS coordinate collected for that attempt.
If able to collect GPS coordinate, measure and store distance between mapspot and Production GPS coordinate.
If unable to collect GPS coordinate during all attempts, set a flag indicating no GPS.
If RESPTYPE_PROD=HH, <RESPONDENT NAME> should be filled with the original respondent’s name collected on the RESP NAME screen.
If RESPTYPE_PROD=Proxy, <RESPONDENT NAME> should be filled with the original respondent’s name collected on the PROXY NAME screen.
If RESP LOCATION=Attempting address, then set RESP_TYPE=HH
If RESPTYPE_PROD=HH, then the <PARTIAL RESPONDENT ADDRESS> refers to the original census address. The system should use the GPS coordinate of this address compared to the GPS coordinate of the NRFU instrument in order to determine MAXDISTANCE.
If RESPTYPE_PROD=Proxy, then the <PARTIAL RESPONDENT ADDRESS> refers to the address collected on the PROXY ADDRESS Screen during the original interview of the Proxy. The system should use the GPS coordinate of this address compared to the GPS coordinate of the NRFU instrument in order to determine MAXDISTANCE.

If user selects PREV, then display “New attempt has already started.” For nonresponse or if “Add Number” is selected without a phone number entered in the number field, “Please provide an answer to the question.” For a phone number that is less than 10 digits:“The phone number must be in the format (xxx) xxx-xxxx.” If 10-digits are entered in the number field, but no association is selected for that number, then “Please provide a phone number and its association.” |
Special instructions |
Next to each number should be a visual indicator as to the previous outcome of that phone number (if there is one), “thumbs up” icon for a good number (if PHONECAT=G) and”thumbs down” icon for a bad one (if PHONECAT not=G).
There should be a visual indicator for each number as to whether that number has already been attempted during the bundled contact.
Variables: For each telephone number added, if an error message is displayed, a flag should be set indicating the message was displayed (true/false): CONTRADICTPHONE=true if “You indicated that you were attempting the address but are now entering a proxy phone number. Please be sure that this is correct.” or “You indicated that you were attempting a proxy but are now entering a household phone number. Please be sure that this is correct.” is triggered and displayed. Else/default CONTRADICTPHONE=false.
Prevent adding duplicate phone numbers: When a user adds a new phone number with PHONEASSOC=HH and swipes to the next screen, if that same phone number with PHONEASSOC=HH already exists for that case, the system should not add the phone number to the case.
Conversely, when a user adds a new phone number with PHONEASSOC=Proxy and swipes to the next screen, if that same phone number with PHONEASSOC=Proxy already exists for that case, the system should not add the phone number to the case.

NOTE: the variable RESP_TYPE is different from RESPTYPE_PROD. The variable RESPTYPE_PROD is an input to the NRFU instrument for reinterview cases that indicates whether the original interview was conducted with a proxy or household member. In contrast, the RESP_TYPE variable is variable set within the NRFU instrument during a reinterview that indicates whether the reinterviewed respondent is the same person who filled out the Census. RESP_TYPE does not indicate anything about the original interview. |

FAQ’s
How is population count data used? Establishing an accurate count is critical for determining how many representatives a state should have in Congress. Population counts are factored into the distribution of hundreds of billions of dollars from more than 100 federal programs.
Instructions
We need to count people where they live and sleep most of the time. Enter the number of people that were living or staying at the address on April 1, 2018.
If the number of people is unknown, or the unit is unoccupied, select the other status that is most applicable.
What is a Housing Unit? - A housing unit may be a house, an apartment, a mobile home, a group of rooms or a single room that can be occupied as separate living quarters (which have separate and direct access from outside the building or through a common hall). Boats, recreational vehicles (RVs), vans, tents, railroad cars, and the like are included only if they are occupied as someone's current place of residence. Excluded from the housing inventory are quarters being used entirely for nonresidential purposes, such as a store or an office, or quarters used for the storage of business supplies or inventory, machinery, or agricultural products.
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, even if the usual occupants are temporarily away on vacation or a business trip. The living quarters occupied by staff personnel within any group quarters are separate housing units if they satisfy the housing unit criteria of separateness and direct access; otherwise, they are considered group quarters (not a housing unit). Occupied rooms or suites of rooms in hotels, motels, and similar places are classified as housing units only when occupied by people who consider the hotel as their usual place of residence or have no usual home elsewhere.
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 are classified as “vacant.” Usual home elsewhere is the place where a person lives and sleeps most of the time. 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. Also, vacant units are excluded from the housing inventory if they have a sign saying that they are condemned or that they will be demolished. |

For nonresponse: Please provide an answer to the question. If “Unit status” is Occupied, and there is no response for “Number of people”: Please enter the number of people. If “Number of people” is DK/REF and there is no response for “Unit status”: Please select the unit status. If 0 (zero) or any non-numeric characters are entered for “Number of people”: For the number of people, you can only enter a number between 1 and 99. |
Special instructions |
If 1-99 is entered for “Number of People,” automatically select Occupied for the “Unit status.”

Housing Unit: A housing unit may be a house, an apartment, a mobile home, a group of rooms or a single room that is occupied (or, if vacant, intended for occupancy) as separate living quarters. Separate living quarters are those in which the occupants live separately from any other individuals in the building and which have direct access from outside the building or through a common hall. For vacant units, the criteria of separateness and direct access are applied to the intended occupants whenever possible. If that information cannot be obtained, the criteria are applied to the previous occupants. Both occupied and vacant housing units are included in the housing unit inventory. Boats, recreational vehicles (RVs), vans, tents, railroad cars, and the like are included only if they are occupied as someone's current place of residence. Vacant mobile homes are included provided they are intended for occupancy on the site where they stand. Vacant mobile homes on dealers' sales lots, at the factory, or in storage yards are excluded from the housing inventory. Also excluded from the housing inventory are quarters being used entirely for nonresidential purposes, such as a store or an office, or quarters used for the storage of business supplies or inventory, machinery, or agricultural products. Vacant Housing Unit: 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. Vacant units are excluded from the housing inventory if they are open to the elements, that is, the roof, walls, windows, and/or doors no longer protect the interior from the elements. Also, excluded are vacant units with a sign that they are condemned or they are to be demolished.

Vacant units are subdivided according to their housing market classification as follows: For Rent – These are vacant units offered “for rent,” and vacant units offered either “for rent” or “for sale.” Rented, Not Occupied – These are vacant units rented but not yet occupied, including units where money has been paid or agreed upon, but the renter has not yet moved in. For Sale Only – These are vacant units being offered “for sale only,” including units in cooperatives and condominium projects if the individual units are offered “for sale only.” If units are offered either “for rent” or “for sale” they are included in the “for rent” classification. Sold, Not Occupied – These are vacant units sold but not yet occupied, including units that have been sold recently, but the new owner has not yet moved in. For Seasonal, Recreational, or Occasional Use – These are vacant units used or intended for use only in certain seasons or for weekends or other occasional use throughout the year. Seasonal units include those used for summer or winter sports or recreation, such as beach cottages and hunting cabins. Seasonal units also may include quarters for such workers as herders and loggers. Interval ownership units, sometimes called shared-ownership or time-sharing condominiums, also are included here. For Migrant Workers – These include vacant units intended for occupancy by migratory workers employed in farm work during the crop season. (Work in a cannery, a freezer plant, or a food-processing plant is not farm work.) Other– If a vacant unit does not fall into any of the categories specified above, it is classified as “Other vacant.” For example, this category includes units held for occupancy by a caretaker or janitor, and units held for personal reasons of the owner. |

5. Demographic Screens
The demographic screens include two household-level questions, determining if the home is owned or rented and, if so, who owns or rents the home. Following the household-level screens are person-level screens asking for relationship, sex, age, and race/origin of each person on the roster.
Note: Exclude people removed from the ROSTER EDIT screen from this section.

FAQ’s
How is homeownership data used? The answer to this question helps local state, tribal, and federal governments make decisions about housing programs and planning. In addition, homeownership rates are an indicator of the state of the nations’ economy.
Instructions
Owned by you or someone in this household with a mortgage or loan Select this response option to describe any house, apartment, or mobile home that has any type of loan secured by real estate. These liens may be called mortgages, deeds of trust, trust deeds, or contracts to purchase. Owner-occupied units with reverse mortgages and home equity loans are considered to be "owned with a mortgage or loan" as are owner-occupied mobile homes with installment loans.
Owned by you or someone in this household free and clear (without a mortgage or loan) Select this response option to describe owner-occupied properties without any loans secured by real estate.
Rented Select this response option to describe units where money rent is paid or contracted. ‘Continuing care,’ sometimes called life care, is a contract between an individual and housing services provider. The contract requires that shelter, usually a house or apartment, and services such as meals or transportation to shopping or recreation, be provided. For these kinds of living arrangements, mark the 'Rented' box.
Occupied without payment of rent Select this response option if the house or apartment is not owned or being bought by a member of the household and if money rent is not paid or contracted. (For example, a house or apartment that is provided free to a janitor, caretaker, or superintendent in exchange for services.)
Landlord-tenant - Multiple single-family detached homes on one property You may have an address on your case list that is a single family home which is a guest house (or other separate housing unit) that has another home on the property that is occupied by the owner. If you are interviewing the guest house (or other separate housing unit), it is the tenure of the guest house (or other separate housing unit) in which you are interested. If the respondent at the guest house – or someone on the respondent’s behalf - pays rent to the owner, then the answer would be rented; and if neither the respondent at the guest house – nor someone on the respondent’s behalf - pays rent to the owner, then the answer would be occupied without payment of rent. If the other house occupied by the owner is on your case list, interview it as well. The answer for this home would be owned with or without a mortgage, depending on what the respondent at this home said.
Landlord- tenant - Duplexes and other small apartment buildings You may have an address on your case list that is a housing unit within a duplex or other small apartment building in which the owner lives in one of the housing units. It is the tenure of the housing unit/apartment – not the entire building - in which you are interested. So if you are interviewing at a housing unit not occupied by the building owner then the answer will be either rented, if the respondent – or someone on the respondent’s behalf - pays rent to the owner, or occupied without payment of rent if neither the respondent – nor someone on the respondent’s behalf - pays rent to the owner. If the housing unit/apartment occupied by the owner is on your caselist, the answer would be owned with or without a mortgage, depending on what the building owner said.
