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 [ ] { } ~ % $ ? ¿ # @ ! ¡ - _ ( ) / : ; "' . , * + =


The system will only allow the following special characters for write-ins on DETAILED ORIGIN (User Story 18-676):

a-z A-Z ñáéíóúü ý ÑÁÉÍÓÚÜ Ý 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> 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:

  • For a Street Address or PR General Address (with Address Number and Street Name {and Apt/Unit, if applicable}), the address fill is Address Number and Street Name {and Apt/Unit, if applicable} in all caps (examples: "123 VACATION WAY" or "123 VACATION WAY APT 101").

  • For an address that has a physical description, the address fill is the physical description in all caps (example: “THE APARTMENT OVER THE POST OFFICE ON COUNTY ROAD 5”)

  • For a P.O. Box Number, the address fill is the term “P.O. BOX” (in all caps) followed by the P.O. Box Number (example: "P.O. BOX 123").

  • For a Rural Route address (with Rural Route Descriptor, Rural Route number, and RR Box ID number), the address fill is the Rural Route Descriptor and Rural Route number, followed by the term “BOX” (in all caps) and the RR Box ID number (example: "RR 45 BOX 76").

  • For a PR Urbanización Address (with Urbanización Name, Address Number and Street Name {and Apt/Unit, if applicable}), the address fill is the Urbanización Name, Address Number and Street Name {and Apt/Unit, if applicable} in all caps (examples: "URB SAN JUAN 123 VACATION WAY" or "URB SAN JUAN 123 VACATION WAY APT 101").

  • For a PR Area Name Address (with Area Name 1 {and Area Name 2, if applicable}, Address Number and Street Name {and Apt/Unit, if applicable}), the address fill is the Area Name 1 {and Area Name 2, if applicable}, Address Number and Street Name {and Apt/Unit, if applicable} in all caps (examples: "BO SAN JUAN 123 VACATION WAY" or "BO SAN JUAN 123 VACATION WAY APT 101").

  • For a PR Apartment Complex Address (with Name of Condominium or Residencial, Address Number, Street Name and Apt/Unit), the address fill is the Name of Condominium or Residencial, Address Number, Street Name and Apt/Unit in all caps (examples: "COND SAN JUAN 123 VACATION WAY APT 101" or "RES SAN JUAN 123 VACATION WAY APT 101").

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.

When RESP LOCATION=Attempting address and the enumerator selects proxy for an added phone number, the system displays the following warning message: “You indicated that you were attempting the address but are now entering a proxy phone number. Please be sure that this is correct.”


When RESP LOCATION=Attempting proxy and the enumerator selects household for an added phone number, the system displays the following warning message: “You indicated that you were attempting a proxy but are now entering a household phone number. Please be sure that this is correct.”

Hard Edit

If user selects PREV, then display “New Proxy 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.


Update RESP_TYPE variable for NRFU/UEF:

If RESP_TYPE=Proxy but the enumerator enters a new phone number and associates it with a household (PHONEASSOC=HH), then set RESP_TYPE=HH.


If RESP LOCATION=Attempting address, but the enumerator enters a new phone number and associates it with a proxy (PHONEASSOC=Proxy), then set RESP_TYPE=Proxy.

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 RentThese 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 OnlyThese 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 UseThese 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 WorkersThese 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.) 

OtherIf 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.

Foreclosure - For units vacant because owners’ payments (mortgage, taxes, or loans) to their lending institution, city, or state, were no longer being made.  This includes units that were under foreclosure, bank owned, bankrupt, up for auction, sheriff’s sale, repossessed, had a lien, or taken for taxes.

Personal/family reasons - For units vacant due to the owners’ preferences and/or personal situation.  This includes units where the owner did not want to rent/sell, owner was deciding what to do, owner was keeping for family use, owner was staying with family, or owner was in assisted living or other type of care situation.

Legal proceedings - For units vacant due to legal issues or disputes.  This includes units held for the settlement of estate, in probate, involved in divorce or eviction proceedings, or where the owner was deceased.  This also includes units with code violations.

Preparing to rent/sell - The owner was preparing to rent or sell.

Held for storage of household furniture - The unit was used to store excess household furniture or other household items.

Needs repairs - The unit was in need of repairs.  This includes units that were in need of repair, renovations, or cleaning, but were not being repaired, renovated, or cleaned.

Currently being repaired/renovated - The unit was undergoing repairs.  This includes units that were being repaired, renovated, refurbished, or cleaned.

Specific use housing - The unit is only used by a specific group of people at one or various times throughout the year.  This includes military housing, employee/corporate housing, transient quarters, units held by a church, model home/apartment, or guest house.

Extended absence - The unit was intended for year-round occupancy but was vacant for 6 months or more.  This includes units where the owner was on extended work or military assignment, temporarily out of the country, or in jail or other type of detention situation.

Abandoned/possibly to be demolished/possibly condemned - The unit was abandoned.  This also includes units that are said to be demolished or condemned, but where there is no positive evidence such as a sign, notice, or mark on the house or in the block to indicate the unit is to be demolished or condemned.

Other - The unit was vacant for reasons that do not fit into any of the above categories.

FAQ’s


Why are you asking about the people at this address? Establishing an accurate count is critical for determining how many representatives a state should have in Congress, and population counts are factored into the distribution of hundreds of billions of dollars from more than 100 federal programs.


Instructions


Please provide the number of people that were living or staying at the address most of the time, as of <CENSUS DAY>.


Our goal is to count people once, only once, and in the right place, according to where they were living on <CENSUS DAY>. Keeping this goal in mind, we ask you to use our guidelines to determine who to count at the address.

  • Count people where they usually live and sleep.

  • For people with more than one place to live, count them at the place where they sleep most of the time.

  • For people who were moving from one residence to another, count them at the residence where they were living on <CENSUS DAY>.

  • For people who do not have a usual residence, or who cannot determine a usual residence, count them where they were staying on <CENSUS DAY>.


Using those guidelines, be sure to INCLUDE the following types of people if they were living or staying at the address most of the time around <CENSUS DAY>:

  • Babies and children of all ages (even newborns and infants), including biological, step, and adopted children, as well as grandchildren, foster children, and children in joint custody arrangements.

  • Any other close or extended family members living there, even partners, grandparents, cousins, in-laws, etc.

  • People who are not related to you, such as roommates, boarders, friends, or live-in employees.

  • People who were staying at the address on <CENSUS DAY> for a short or indefinite period of time, without a permanent place to live.


Do NOT include:

  • College students who live away from the address most of the year.

  • Armed forces personnel who live away.

  • People who, on <CENSUS DAY>, were in a nursing home, mental hospital, jail, prison, detention center, etc.

  • People visiting the address on <CENSUS DAY> who usually live and sleep somewhere else.


Soft Edit

If 0 is entered and it’s not a proxy respondent: “Please include yourself when reporting the number of people.”


If 0 is entered and it’s a proxy respondent: “You previously stated that someone was living at this address on <CENSUS DAY>. Please include that person when reporting the number of people.”

Hard Edit

For nonresponse: “Please provide an answer to the question.”


If any non-numeric characters are entered: “Please enter a number between 1 and 99.”

Special instructions

The response on the POPCOUNT screen creates an output variable called POPCOUNT_BOX that provides the number reported on this screen. The value of this POPCOUNT_BOX variable should not be impacted by the number of names that are entered or deleted from the roster (defined elsewhere in the spec as POP_COUNT).


If DK, REF, or “Exit Survey” are selected on this screen, then set EXIT_STATUS=occupied when swiping to next screen.

Our goal is to count people once, only once, and in the right place, according to where they were living on <CENSUS DAY>. Keeping this goal in mind, we ask you to use our guidelines to determine who to count at the address.

  • Count people where they usually live and sleep.

  • For people with more than one place to live, count them at the place where they sleep most of the time.

  • For people who were moving from one residence to another, count them at the residence where they were living on <CENSUS DAY>.

  • For people who do not have a usual residence, or who cannot determine a usual residence, count them where they were staying on <CENSUS DAY>.


Using those guidelines, be sure to INCLUDE the following types of people if they were living or staying at the address most of the time around <CENSUS DAY>:

  • Babies and children of all ages (even newborns and infants), including biological, step, and adopted children, as well as grandchildren, foster children, and children in joint custody arrangements.

  • Any other close or extended family members living there, even partners, grandparents, cousins, in-laws, etc.

  • People who are not related to you, such as roommates, boarders, friends, or live-in employees.

  • People who were staying at the address on <CENSUS DAY> for a short or indefinite period of time, without a permanent place to live.


Do NOT include:

  • College students who live away from the address most of the year.

  • Armed forces personnel who live away.

  • People who, on <CENSUS DAY>, were in a nursing home, mental hospital, jail, prison, detention center, etc.

  • People visiting the address on <CENSUS DAY> who usually live and sleep somewhere else.

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.
