Bold black = Roster names and you/your references

Blue text = Optional text for interviewer to read

Red text = Interviewer instruction


Help text

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.

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:

  • 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.

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.

DemolishedMark 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.

Nonresidentialif 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 constructionif the housing unit is open to elements, condemned, or under construction

Empty mobile home/trailer siteif 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:


  • Can be occupied as separate living quarters in which the occupants live separately from any other indivudals in the building

  • Has separate and direct access from outside the building or through a common hall


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 Rent – A unit is offered “for rent,” or it is offered either “for rent” or “for sale.”

  • Rented, Not Occupied – A unit is rented but not yet occupied, including where money has been paid or agreed upon, but the renter has not yet moved in.

  • For Sale Only – A unit is 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 – A unit is 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 – A unit is used or intended for use only in certain seasons or for weekends or other occasional use throughout the year. Interval ownership units, sometimes called shared-ownership or time-sharing condominiums, also are included here.

  • For Migrant Workers – A unit is intended for occupancy by migratory workers employed in farm work during the crop season.

  • Other – The vacant unit does not fall into any of the categories specified above. For example, units held for occupancy by a caretaker or janitor, and units held for personal reasons of the owner.


For each unit specified as Other, further classify it as one of the following:

  • Does not exist – A unit does not exist at all.

  • Demolished – A unit is about to be demolished.

  • Burned out – A unit is burned out and uninhabitable.

  • Nonresidential – No one lives in the unit and it is not used as living quarters (for example, a business or commercial facility).

  • Uninhabitable – A unit is open to the elements, condemned, or under construction.

  • Missing unit designation – A unit does not have a designation within the multi-unit address.

  • Duplicate – A unit occurs twice in the Case list.

  • Other – A unit is not livable and does not fall into any of the categories specified above.

  • For rent

  • Rented, not occupied

  • For sale only

  • Sold, not occupied

  • For seasonal, recreational, or occasional use

  • For migrant workers
