Comprehensive enumeration method


Response rate gives households percentage (or other sample unit) that participated in the survey based on the original sample size. Omissions can occur due to refusal to participate, impossibility of finding the required person or otherwise. Sometimes, the family can be replaced by another using planning. Ensure that the information presented here corresponds to the sample size indicated in "Sample performing" and No. of existed records in the database (for example, if the sample consists of 5,000 households and the database contains data for 4,500 households, so the response rate may not be 100 percent.
If it is possible to provide response rates by class. If information is available on non-response reasons (rejection/is not found/other), also in some cases they can be used to describe non-response cases in population censuses.
