The enquête Famille et logements questionnaire, associated to that of the census is a four pages self completed questionnaire, as before in 1999 and 1990.

When they also live elsewhere (a multi-residencial situation), the survey collects extensive information on the other dwelling, reasons for use, dwelling type, location, frequency of occupation, the inhabitants of the other dwelling. These questions, close to the core questions of surveys conducted by INSEE household surveys, will allow to understand how people living in multi-residencial situations live and where they were enumerated by the census.

In addition, respondents indicated the address of their workplace or the commune of their place of study. This information is available for all hosehold members.

The survey bulletin contains additional geographical information: the other respondent’s residence address, the place of residence of the children who do not live in the dwelling, the place of residence of the respondents’ parents. The location of the respondents’ household will therefore be included among all his/her relatives’ (parents and children).
