Interviewer instructions
2, Location of the housing unit:
If the rooms of a given housing unit are arranged one above the other on two or more floors, the floor on which the main entry door to the housing unit is located should be indicated.
A habitable attic is defined as all stories with (partially) inclined ceiling throughout (even those with semi-high exterior walls) regardless of whether the interior work was done when the building was initially built or subsequently.

Purpose of the question:
How many persons live in high rises or upper floors?
If an elevator is present in the building in a municipal area (building questionnaire question 16), housing quality increases with ascending height. If, on the other hand, no elevator is present, the housing quality strongly decreases with increasing number of stories - especially the higher the occupant's age.
