Question post text
WRITE X IN THE BOX.
Interviewer instructions
Write "X" in the box corresponding to the estimated floor area of the housing unit.
There are many ways in approximating the total floor area. You may use any method convenient to you such as, use a meter stick, visual approximation (using your eyes only), or pace factor (see Appendix 10, page 264 of the Enumerator's Manual). In case the respondent does not know the floor area of the housing unit, you can approximate the floor area using any of the aforementioned methods. Familiarize yourself with the length of a meter so that you can do visual approximation.
To get the estimated floor area (EFA) of the ground floor, use the formula:
EFAGROUND FLOOR = 10 meters x 7 meters = 70 sq. m.
Use the same formula for the second floor:
EFASECOND FLOOR = 10 meters x 9 meters = 90 sq. m.
To get the TOTAL ESTIMATED FLOOR AREA of the housing unit, which will be the answer to the inquiry "What is the estimated floor area of this housing unit?" The formula is :
EFAGROUND FLOOR + EFASECOND FLOOR = 70 + 90 = 160 sq.m.

Description
Text
Floor area refers to the area or space enclosed by the exterior walls of the housing unit. In case of housing units with several floors or storeys, get the area of each floor/storey in square meters or square feet and add them together to get the total floor area of the entire housing unit.
Universe
All households and housing units with special HSNs

Notes
Density of occupancy, expressed as the number of persons per unit of floor area, can be used as a measure of housing adequacy. The so-called "crowding index" is based on this measure. Data on floor area can provide information on the current status of the density of occupancy of existing housing units in the country. This item can also be used by planners and policymakers in the adoption of housing standards that will provide adequate housing space to a level consistent with the maintenance of health and general living conditions of the occupants.
