It will be ascertained whether the household possesses homestead land or not in this item. Code 1 will be recorded if the household possesses homestead land on the date of survey, otherwise code 2 will be entered. It may be noted that only in a small number of cases, the household will have no homestead. For example, a household living under a bridge will not be considered to have homestead. It may be specially emphasized that if any of the household members (including 'non-relatives') owns any residential area other than the one where the household resides, the area will not be treated as homestead and will be included in item 10.
