Dwelling In general terms, a dwelling is a structure which is intended to have people live in it, and which is habitable on Census Night. Some examples of dwellings are houses, motels, flats, caravans, prisons, tents, humpies and houseboats. Private dwellings are enumerated using household forms, which obtain family and relationship data as well as information on the dwelling itself such as rent or mortgage payments and ownership. Non-private dwellings (hotels, hospitals etc.) are enumerated on personal forms and, while these forms capture information about relationships within the non-private dwelling, they do not capture information on ownership of, or payments related to, the dwelling. All occupied dwellings are counted in the Census. Unoccupied private dwellings are also counted. Unoccupied dwellings in caravan parks, marinas and manufactured home estates are not counted. Unoccupied residences of owners, managers or caretakers of such establishments are counted. Unoccupied units in retirement villages (self-contained) will also be counted. The 2001 Census was the first to count unoccupied private dwellings in discrete Indigenous communities. This will occur again in 2011. See also Caravans, houseboats, etc., Dwelling Location (DLOD), Dwelling Structure (STRD), Dwelling Type (DWTD), Household, Manufactured home estates, Type of Non-Private Dwelling (NPDD).
