In the Indian census, house-listings are an important part of the enumeration process. House-listings refer to the enumeration of all households in a given area, including information on the number of persons living in each household, their age, sex, and relationship to the head of the household, as well as other demographic and socio-economic characteristics.
House-listings are conducted prior to the actual population enumeration, and are used to create a comprehensive list of all households in the area, which serves as the sampling frame for the population enumeration. The house-listing phase also provides an opportunity to collect important information on housing conditions, such as the type of dwelling, the availability of basic amenities such as water and sanitation facilities, and the ownership status of the dwelling.
The House-listing schedule contained 34 questions.
