Private Family—Any person or group of persons in separate occupation of any premises or part of premises is treated as a separate
family for Census purposes. Private families comprise all such families, with the exception of those enumerated in (i) Institutions
or (ii) business establishments or boarding-houses.
Structurally separate Dwellings are defined as any room or sets of rooms, intended or used for habitation, having separate access either
to the street or to a common landing or staircase. Thus each fiat in a block of flats is a separate unit; a private house which has
not been structurally subdivided is similarly a single unit, whether occupied by one family or several families. But where a
private house has been subdivided into maisonettes or portions, each having its front door opening on to the street or on to a
common landing or staircase to which visitors have access, then each such portion is treated as a separate unit.
Rooms—For the purpose of the Census the rooms enumerated are the usual living rooms, including bedrooms and kitchens, bnt excluding
sculleries, landings, lobbies, closets, bathrooms, or any warehouse, office, or shop rooms.
