An ILQ is a structurally separate and independent place of abode intended for habitation by large groups of individuals (10 persons or more). Each quarter usually has certain common facilities, such as kitchen and dining rooms, toilet and bath, and lounging areas, which are shared by the occupants.
Institutional population - Comprises of persons who are found living in ILQs. They may have their own families or households elsewhere but at the time of census, they are committed or confined in institutions. In ILQs, they are usually subject to a common authority or management, or are bound by either a common public objective or personal interest.
Residence Status - Refers to the residence position or status of a person in the ILQ.
