Definition of Terms and Concepts The operational definitions and concepts adopted in the 2010 CPH have also been used in past censuses of population and housing. The use of the same operational definitions of terms and concepts in National Statistics Office vii Explanatory Notes our population and housing censuses ensures comparability of census results. The 2010 CPHenumerators were instructed to adhere strictly to these operational definitions. Barangay A barangay is the smaliest political unit in the country. Generally, one enumerator is assigned to enumerate one barangay. For enumeration purposes, a large barangay is usually divided into parts, and each part is called an enumeration area (EA). The official list of barangays of the DILG in the Philippine Standard Geographic Code as of March 2010 was used for the 2010 CPH. Enumeration Area An enumeration area (EA) is a delineated geographic area usually consisting of about 350 to 500 households. It could be an entire barangay or part of a barangay. It is assigned to one enumerator. Usual Place of Residence All persons were enumerated in their usual place of residence which refers to the geographic place (street, barangay, city/municipality or province) where the person usually resides. As a rule, a person's usual place of residence is the place where that person sleeps most of the time. Hence, it may be the same as or different from the place where he/she was found at the time of the census. Household A household is a social unit consisting of a person living alone or a group of person who sleep in the same housing unit and have a common arrangement in the preparation and consumption
