PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 

The 2005 Census of Population and Housing is the third comprehensive data collection of population and 

housing characteristics taken by the Republic since Compact Implementation in October 1994. The 

Republic of Palau follows a quinquenial census cycle. This Census follows the 1995 and 2000 Censuses, 

with the 1995 Census as our first official mid-decade census. The US Bureau of the Census conducted 

censuses in Palau in 1970, 1980, and 1990, but no longer includes us because of our Independence. So, 

besides providing current data for planning and programs, the 2005 Census also maintains a Decennial 

census to assist in assessing trends. 

The 2005 Census of Palau has two volumes. This first volume contains the basic tables, which can be used 

immediately for planning and policy determination. A second volume, the Census monograph, will contain 

analyses of trends and comparisons of the States. The Census time line follows: 

March 2005 

July-November 2005 

November/December 2005 

January 2006 

Preparation of questionnaires, manuals, forms, manuals, forms, selection of 

Enumerators and office workers, verbatim training of enumerators, 

development of edit and tabulation program and enumeration 

Finished coding and keying 

Processing and report writing in Washington, DC and Palau 

Preparation and processing of Volume II (Census Monograph) 

THANKS TO THE FOLLOWING PEOPLE: We appreciate the hard work of the enumerators on this project, 

who had to do almost all of their work before seeing any paychecks – this is real dedication to this project 

and to the government. Thanks also to the coders and keyers in the office who completed the office work 

so efficiently. Finally, thanks to Kyonori Tellames, Visia Alonz, and Muriel Sinsak, who worked with Michael 

Levin on the editing and tabulation, and preparation for this report.

APPENDIX A. 

Area Classifications 

These definitions are for all geographic entities and 

concepts that the Office of Planning and Statistics 

will use for its 2005 Census data products. 

GEOGRAPHIC PRESENTATION 

A hierarchical geographic presentation shows the 

geographic entities in a superior/subordinate 

structure in census products. This structure is 

derived from the legal, administrative, or areal 

relationships of the entities. The hierarchical 

structure is depicted in report tables by means of 

indentation. The following structure is used for the 

2005 Census of the Republic of Palau: 


State 

Hamlet/Village 

Enumeration District 

Block 

BLOCK 

Census blocks are small areas bounded on all sides by 

visible features such as streets, roads, and streams, 

and by invisible boundaries such as legal boundaries, 

property lines, and short, imaginary extensions of 

streets and roads. 

Tabulations blocks, used in census data products, are 

in most cases the same as collection blocks, used in 

the census enumeration. Tabulation blocks do not 

cross the boundaries of Enumeration Districts (ED), 

villages, or States. The 1990 Census of Palau was 

the first to use blocks, and the 1995, 2000 and 2005 

Censuses continue this level of geography. Blocks 

are numbered uniquely within each ED. A block is 

identified by a three-digit number. 

ENUMERATION DISTRICT 

Enumeration Districts (ED) were the geographic level 

used for data collection. In most cases, one 

enumerator counted all of the population and housing 

units in a single Enumeration District. Each ED 

consisted of about 70 housing units and 300 persons. 

Each ED was made up of one or more blocks, and one or 

more than one ED combined to represent villages and 

States. 

VILLAGE AND HAMLETS 

Villages and Hamlets were the next level in the 

geographic hierarchy. Several Enumeration Districts 

combined to create the 15 villages and hamlets on 

Koror, and the various villages in the other States. 

A few States (like Hatohobei, Kayangel, and Sonsorol) 

did not have villages; others had one or more 

villages. Each village is represented by a unique 

two-digit code. 

STATE 

Villages were grouped geographically to make up the 

Republic of Palau’s 16 States. Most tabulations 

appear by State in the publications and in the 

computer files. Each State is represented by a twodigit 

code, arranged in order, from the north to the 

south of the Republic.

APPENDIX B. 

DEFINITION OF TERMS AND CONCEPTS 

POPULATION CHARACTERISTICS 

AGE 

Data on age were derived from answers to questionnaire item 5 (date of birth). 

the completed age of the person (in years) as of April 1, 2005. 

The information was based on 

Data on age are used to determine the applicability of other questions and to classify other characteristics in 

census tabulations. Age data are needed to interpret most social and economic characteristics used to plan and 

examine many programs and policies. Therefore, age was tabulated by single years of age and by other groupings, 

such as 5-year age groups. Where tabulations are shown for families or households, data refer to the age of the 

householders. 

Median Age - This measure divides the age distri-bution into two equal parts: one-half of the cases fall below 

the median age and the other half above it. Generally, median age was computed on the basis of more detailed 

age intervals than are shown in census tabulations; thus, a median based on a less detailed distribution may 

differ slightly from a corresponding median for the same population based on a more detailed distribution. (For 

more information on medians, see the discussion under Derived Measures.) 

Limitation of the Data - Counts in the 1980 and 1970 censuses for persons 100 years old and over were 

substantially overstated. To minimize this problem, improvements were then made in the questionnaire design 

and in the allocation procedures for the 1990 and subsequent censuses. 

As observed in every census, respondents tended to round off their age if their birthdays fell close to the 

enumeration period. The problem was more pronounced at age 0 because infants lost to age 1 may not have been 

fully offset by the inclusion of babies born after the Census Day. 

Comparability - Age data have been collected in every census. When age was unknown, the assignment of age had 

been performed by a general procedure described as imputation. The specific procedures for imputing age have 

been different in every census. 

CITIZENSHIP 

Data on citizenship were derived from answers to questionnaire item 8, which was asked of all 

persons. Data on citizenship provide information on the proportion of citizens and immigrants in the country. 

The six categories of citizenship adopted in the 2000 census were as follows: 

(a) Palau citizen, born in Palau; 

(b) Naturalized Palau citizen - A foreign-born person was considered in this category if he/she had completed 

the naturalization process at the time of the census and upon whom the rights of Palau citizenship had been 

conferred; 

(c) Born in the U.S. or U.S. territory such as Guam, American Samoa, etc.; 

(d) Naturalized US citizen - A perso was considered in this 

category if he/she had completed the naturalization process 

and was a U.S. citizen at the time of census; 

(e) Permanent resident - This referred to a person who was not a citizen or national, but was permanently 

residing in Palau; and permanent and temporary residents. 

Limitation of the Data - Studies after previous censuses showed that some persons undergoing naturalization may 

have reported themselves as citizens although they have not yet attained the status. 

Comparability - The 2005 census data on citizenship are comparable to some extent with those of 1990, 1995 and 

2000. The 2005 census tabulations presented breakdown of Palau citizens: Born in Palau and Naturalized Palau 

citizen; the second category of which did not appear in the 1990 Census. The 2005 categories permanent 

resident and temporary resident, when taken together, corresponded to the category Not born in Palau and Not a 

US citizen of the 1990 census. The last two categories were adopted for the first time in the 1995 Census, and 

continued in 2000 and 2005.

EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT, MAJOR IN COLLEGE, AND TRAINING AT PCC 

Data on educational attainment were derived from answers to questionnaire item 13a, which were asked of all 

persons. The question included response categories which allowed persons to report having completed the 12 th 

grade without receiving a high school diploma. Respondents were to report as high school graduate/s persons who 

received either a high school diploma or the equivalent, passed the Test of General Education Development 

(G.E.D.), and did not attend college. 

Enumerators were instructed that schooling completed in foreign or ungraded school systems should be reported as 

the equivalent level of schooling in the regular American system; that vocational certificates/ diplomas from 

vocational, trade, or business schools or colleges were not to be reported unless they were college level 

degrees; and that honorary degrees were also not to be reported. The instructions gave medicine, dentistry, 

chiropractic medicine, optometry, osteo-pathic medicine, pharmacy, podiatry, veterinary medicine, law and 

theology as examples of professional school degrees. Excluded from the professional school degree category were 

barber school, cosmetology or other training for specific trade. 

Data on educational attainment were tabulated for persons 25 years old and over. In the tabulations, persons 

were classified according to the highest grade of school completed or the highest degree received. 

High School Graduate or Higher - included persons whose highest degree was a high school diploma or its 

equivalent, persons who attended college or professional school, and persons who received a college, university, 

or professional degree. 

Not Enrolled, Not High School Graduate - included persons of compulsory school attendance age who were not 

enrolled in school and were not high school graduates; these persons may be taken to be high school dropouts. 

There was no restriction when they dropped out of school, and they may have never attended high school. 

Major in College and Training at Palau Commu-nity College (PCC) - Persons who responded to question item 13a 

that they were high school graduates or higher were asked in question item 13b their major in college or 

vocational school. Question item 13c further asked whether any of the course of study or training was received 

at Palau Community College (PCC). The 2005 census tabulations presented data on major in college and training 

at PCC for persons 18 years old and over only. 

Comparability - Educational attainment questions were first asked in the 1970 census. In the censuses of 1960 

through 1980, a two-part question asking highest grade of school attended and whether that grade was finished 

was used to construct highest grade or year of school completed. For persons who have not attended college, 

the response categories in the 2005 educational attainment question should produce data which are comparable to 

data on highest grade completed from earlier censuses. 

Response categories for persons who have attended college were modified from earlier censuses because there was 

some ambiguity in interpreting responses in terms of the number of years of college completed. For instance, it 

was not clear whether completed the fourth year of college, completed the senior year of college, and college 

graduate were synonymous. Research conducted shortly before the census suggested that these terms were more 

distinct in 1990 and subsequent censuses than in earlier decades, and this change may have threatened the 

ability to estimate the number of college graduates from the number of persons reported as having completed the 

fourth or higher year of college. It was even more difficult to make inferences about post-baccalaureate and 

Associate degrees from highest year of college completed. Thus, comparisons of post-secondary educational 

attainment in this and earlier censuses should be made with great caution. 

Questions on major in academic college or vocational school, as well as training at PCC, was asked for the first 

time in the 1995 census, and continued in later censuses. 

EMPLOYMENT STATUS 

Data on employment status were derived from answers to questionnaire items 20, and 23 through 25, which were 

asked of persons 15 years old and over. The series of questions on employment status was designed to identify, 

in this sequence: 

(a) persons who worked at a job or business or farm at any time during the reference week; 

(b) persons who did not do such work during the reference week, but who had jobs or businesses from which they 

were temporarily absent (excluding layoff); 

(c) persons on layoff; 

(d) persons who did not do such work during the reference week, but were looking for work to earn money during 

the last 4 weeks and were available for work during the reference week. 

The employment status data shown in the census tabulations related to persons 16 years old and over. Though the 

questions on employment status were asked of persons including those with age 15 years, by definition, these 

persons are classified as Not in the labor force. 

Civilian Labor Force - This consisted of persons classified as employed or unemployed in accordance with the 

criteria described below. 

Labor Force - All persons classified in the civilian labor force plus members of the Armed Forces (persons on

active duty with the United States Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, or Coast Guard.) 

Employed - All civilians who were 16 years old and over who were either 

(a) at work - those who did any work at all during the reference week as paid emplo-yees or in their own 

business or profession, or on their own farm, or who worked 15 or more hours as unpaid workers on a family farm 

or in a family business; or 

(b) were with a job but not at work - those who did not do such work during the reference week, but who had jobs 

or businesses from which they were temporarily absent due to illness, bad weather, industrial dispute, vacation, 

or other personal reasons. Excluded from the employed were persons without jobs or businesses whose only 

activity consisted of work around the house or unpaid volunteer work for religious, charitable, and similar 

organizations; persons without jobs or businesses who did subsistence activity only during the reference week; 

and persons on active duty in the United States Armed Forces. 

Unemployed - All civilians 16 years old and over who 

(a) were neither at work nor with a job but not at work during the reference week, or who did subsistence 

activity only; 

(b) were looking for work to earn money during the last 4 weeks; and 

(c) were available to accept a job during the reference week. 

Examples of job seeking activities were: 

(a) Registering at a public or private employment office 

(b) Meeting with prospective employers 

(c)Investigating possibilities for starting a professional practice or opening a business 

(d) Placing or answering advertisements 

(e) Writing letters of application 

(f) Being on a union or professional register 

Also included as unemployed were civilians 16 years old and over who did not work at a job or business during 

the reference week and were waiting to be called back to a job from which they had been laid off. 

Experienced Unemployed - These were unemployed persons who have worked at any time in the past. 

Experienced Civilian Labor Force - These consisted of the employed and the experienced unemployed. 

Not in the Labor Force - These consisted of all persons 16 years old and over who were not classified as members 

of the labor force. This category consisted mainly of persons doing subsistence activity only, students, 

housewives, retired workers, seasonal workers enumerated in an off season who were not looking for work, 

institutionalized persons, and persons doing only incidental unpaid family work (less than 15 hours during the 

reference week). 

Subsistence Activity - A person was engaged in subsistence activities if he/she mainly produced goods for 

his/her own or family’s use and needs, such as growing/gathering food, fishing, cutting copra for home use, 

raising livestock, making handicrafts for home use, and other productive activities not primarily for commercial 

purposes. When subsistence activity categories are shown with the Employed and the Not in Labor Force, they 

related to activities engaged in during the census reference week. Persons who did subsistence activity only 

during the reference week were not classified as employed, unless they were with a job but not at work (see 

definition of employed). 

Worker - The term appears in connection with several subjects, for example, place of work, class of worker, 

weeks worked in 2004, and workers in family in 2004. Its meaning varies and, therefore, should be determined in 

each case by referring to the definition of the subject in which it appears. 

Actual Hours Worked Last Week - All persons who reported working at a job or business or farm during the 

reference week were asked to report in questionnaire item 21 the number of hours that they worked, excluding any 

time at subsistence activity. The statistics on hours worked for employed, at work persons pertain to the 

number of hours actually worked at all jobs, and do not necessarily reflect the number of hours typically or 

usually worked or the scheduled number of hours. The concept of actual hours differed from that of usual hours 

worked described below. The number of persons who worked only a small number of hours was probably understated 

since such persons sometimes considered themselves as not working. Respondents were asked to include overtime 

or extra hours worked, but to exclude lunch hours, sick leave, and vacation leave. 

Limitation of the Data - The census may have understated the number of employed persons because persons who 

had irregular, casual, or unstructured jobs sometimes reported themselves as not working. The number of 

employed persons at work was probably overstated in the census (and conversely, the number of employed with a 

job but not at work was understated) since some persons on vacation or sick leave erroneously reported 

themselves as working. This problem had no effect whatsoever on the total number of employed persons.

The reference week for the employment data was not the same for all persons. This lack of uniform reference 

week may mean that the employment data do not reflect the reality of the employment situation of any given week. 

(For more information, see the discussion under Reference Week.) 

Comparability - The questionnaire items and employment status concepts for the 2000 and the 2005 censuses were 

essentially the same as those used in the 1995, 1990 and 1980 censuses. However, these concepts differed in 

many respects from those associated with earlier censuses. 

Since employment data from the census are obtained from respondents in households, they differ from statistics 

based on reports from individual business establishments, farm enterprises, and certain government programs. 

Persons employed at more than one job are counted only once in the census and are classified according to the 

job at which they worked the greatest number of hours during the reference week. In establishments-based 

statistics, persons who worked for more than one establishment may be counted more than once. Moreover, other 

series, unlike those presented in the census, may exclude private household workers, unpaid family workers, and 

self-employed persons, but may include workers less than 16 years of age. 

An additional difference in the data arises because persons who had a job but were not at work were included 

with the employed statistics shown in the census, whereas many of these persons are likely to be excluded from 

employment figures based on establishment payroll reports. Furthermore, the employment status data in the 

census included persons on the basis of usual place of residence regardless of where they worked, whereas 

establishment data report persons at their place of work regardless of where they live. This latter 

consideration is particularly significant when comparing data for workers who commute between areas. 

Census data on hours worked during the reference week may differ from data from other sources. 

measured hours actually worked, whereas some surveys measure hours paid for by employers. 

The census 

ETHNICITY 

Data on ethnic origin were derived from answers to questionnaire item 4, which was asked of all persons. The 

concept of ethnic origin as used by the Census Bureau and the government of Palau reflected self-identification; 

it did not denote any clear-cut scientific definition of biological stock. The data for ethnicity represented 

self-classification by people according to the race with which they most closely identify. Furthermore, it was 

recognized that the categories of the race item included both racial and national origin or socio-cultural 

groups. 

In general, ethnic origin or race refers to a person’s origin or descent, roots or heritage. It may also refer 

to where the person or his/her parents were born. Thus, a person may have reported his/her ethnic origin based 

on the origin or race of parent, grandparent or more distant ancestors. 

During direct interviews conducted by enumerators, if a person could not provide a single response to the 

ethnicity question, he/she was asked to select, based on self-identification, the group which best described 

his/her racial identity. If a person could not provide a single race response, the race of the mother was used. 

If a single race response could not be provided for the person’s mother, the first race reported by the person 

was used. In all tabulations where households or families were classified by ethnic origin, the ethnic origin 

of the householder was used. 

The racial classification used by the Census Bureau generally adhered to the guidelines in Federal Statistical 

Directive No. 15, issued by the Office of Management and Budget, which provided standards on ethnic and racial 

categories for statistical reporting to be used by all Federal agencies. 

If the race entry for a member of a household was missing on the questionnaire, race was assigned based upon the 

reported entries of race by other household members using specific rules of precedence of household 

relationship. For example, if race was missing for the daughter of the householder, then the race of her mother 

(as female householder or female spouse) would be assigned. If no female householder or spouse was in the 

household, the daughter would be assigned her father’s (male householder) race. If race was not reported for 

anyone in the household, the race of a householder in a previously processed household was assigned. This 

procedure was a variation of the general imputation procedures described in Appendix C, Accuracy of Data. 

FERTILITY 

Data on fertility (also referred to as children ever born) were derived from answers to questionnaire items 18a 

through 18c. Questions on the number of children ever born, number of children still alive, and the date of 

birth of last child were asked of all women 15 years and over, regardless of their marital status. 

Data are most frequently presented in terms of the aggregate number of children ever born to women in the 

specific 5-year age groups and in terms of the rate per 1,000 women. 

Children Ever Born - These included all live births the woman had ever had, including any babies who died (even 

shortly after birth). Ever-married women were instructed to include all children born to them during their 

previous and recent marriage/s and those born out of wedlock, children no longer living, children away from 

home, as well as children still living at home. Never married women were also instructed to report all children 

born to them. Excluded from the number of children ever born were foster children, stepchildren, adopted 

children, miscarriages and stillbirths (a birth at which a baby showed no sign of life).

One measure derived from this data is the number of children ever born per 1000 women in a particular age group. 

More important is the number of children ever born to a woman with ages 45-49 years as this would indicate the 

number of children a woman would have in her reproductive period. 

Children Still Alive -These included the number of children the woman had ever had and were still alive at the 

time of the enumeration. 

Comparability - The wording of the question on children ever born was the same in the 2005, 2000, 1995, 1990 and 

1985 censuses. In the 1970 census tabulations, data presented on children ever born to all women assumed that 

single women were childless, even though it was known that some of them have had children. Therefore, rates and 

numbers of children ever born were not comparable between 1980 reports and previous census reports. Data 

presented for children ever born between 1980 and 2005 census reports are comparable as well as tables for all 

census years which show data for ever-married women. 

The questions on the number of children still alive and the date of birth of last child were asked for the first 

time were asked for the first time in the 1995 census, and continued in subsequent censuses. 

GROUP QUARTERS 

All persons not living in households were classified by the Census Bureau as living in group quarters. 

general categories of persons in group quarters were recognized: 

Two 

(a) institutionalized persons and 

(b) other persons in group quarters (also referred as non-institutional group quarters). 

Institutionalized Persons - These included persons under formally authorized, supervised care or custody in 

institutions at the time of enumeration. Such persons were classified as patients or inmates of an institution 

regardless of the availability of nursing or medical care, the length of stay, or the number of persons in the 

institution. Generally, institutionalized persons are restricted to the institutional buildings and grounds (or 

must have passes or escorts to leave) and thus have limited interaction with the surrounding community. Also, 

they are generally under the care of trained staff who have responsibility for their safekeeping and 

supervision. 

Type of Institution - The type of institution was determined as part of census enumeration activities. 

Institutions included the following: 

(a) Correctional institutions which included prisons, Federal detention centers, military stockades or jails, 

local jails and other confinement facilities; 

(b) Nursing homes; 

(c) Mental hospitals; 

(d) Hospitals for chronically ill; 

(e) Schools, hospitals or wards for the mentally 

retarded; 

(f) Schools, hospitals or wards for the physically handicapped; 

(g) Hospitals and wards for drug/alcohol abuse; 

(h) Wards in General and Military Hospitals for patients who have No Usual Home elsewhere; and 

(i) Juvenile institutions. 

Other Persons in Group Quarters (also referred to as Non-institutional Group Quarters) - These included all 

persons who lived in group quarters other than institutions. Persons who lived in the following living 

quarters were classified as other persons in group quarters when there were 10 or more unrelated persons living 

in the unit; otherwise, these living quarters were classified as housing units: 

(a) Rooming houses; S Group homes for the mentally ill, mentally retarded, physically handicapped, drug/alcohol 

abuse or other group homes; and 

(b) Religious Group Quarters. 

Persons residing in certain other types of living arrangements were classified as living in non-institutional 

group quarters regardless of the number of people sharing the unit. These included persons residing in the 

following type of group quarters: college dormitories, military quarters, workers’ dormitories, emergency 

shelters for homeless persons, crews of maritime vessels, and staff residents of institutions. 

Comparability - For the 1990 and subsequent censuses, the definition of institutionalized persons was revised 

so that care included only persons under organized medical or formally authorized, supervised care or custody. 

As a result of this change in definition, maternity homes were classified as non-institutional rather than 

institutional group quarters as in previous censuses. The following types of other group quarters were

classified as institutional: half-way houses (operated for correctional purposes) and wards in general and 

military hospitals for patients who had no usual home elsewhere, which included maternity, neonatal, pediatric, 

military, and surgical wards of hospitals, other-purpose wards of hospitals, and wards of infectious diseases. 

This definition was also adopted in the 2005 census. Because of the small number of persons involved, these 

changes should not significantly affect the comparability of data with earlier censuses. 

In the 2005, 2000, 1995, 1990 and 1980 censuses, 10 or more unrelated persons living together were classified as 

living in non-institutional group quarters. Worker’s dormitories were also classified as group quarters, 

regardless of the number of persons sharing the dorm. In 1970, the criteria for group quarters was six (6) or 

more unrelated persons. 

(For more information, refer to Appendix B of the of the 1990 Census of Population and Housing publication - 

Republic of Palau.) 

HOUSEHOLD TYPE AND RELATIONSHIP 

Household 

A household constituted all persons who occupied a housing unit and prepared their food together. A household 

may be a single family, one person living alone, two or more families living together, or any other group of 

related or unrelated persons who shared living arrangements. The count of households or householders always 

equals the count of occupied housing units. (For more information, see the discussion under Housing Units and 

Living Quarters.) 

Persons per Household - was obtained by dividing the number of persons in households by the number of households 

(or householders). 

Median Persons per Household - In computing median persons per household, a whole number was used as the 

midpoint of an interval; thus, a household with 4 persons was treated as an interval ranging from 3.5 to 4.5 

persons. The median was rounded to the nearest hundredth. The measure means that one-half of the total number 

of households have number of persons below the median size while the other half have number of persons above it. 

(For more information on medians, see discussion under Derived Measures.) 

Family household 

A family constituted a householder and one or more persons living in the same household who were related to the 

householder by birth, marriage or adoption. All persons in a household who were related to the householder 

comprised members of his/her family. A household can contain only one family for purposes of census 

tabulations. Not all households contained families since a household comprised a group of unrelated persons or 

one person living alone. 

Families were classified by type according to the sex of the householder and the presence of relatives: 

(a) Married-couple family - was a family in which the householder and his/her spouse were enumerated as members 

of the same household; 

(b) Male Householder, No Wife Present; and 

(c) Female Householder, No Husband Present. 

Persons per family - was obtained by dividing the number of (related) persons in families by the total number 

of families (or family householder). 

Relationship to Householder 

Data on relationship to householder were derived from built-in responses to questionnaire item 3, which was 

asked of all persons in the housing unit. The types of relationships for persons were as follows: 

Householder - One person in each household was designated as householder, usually he/she was the person in whose 

name the home was being owned, being bought or rented and who was listed as person number 1 in the census 

questionnaire. If there was no such person in the household, any adult household member 15 years old and over 

was designated as the householder. 

The census classified the type of householder according to the sex of householder and the presence of relatives: 

Family householder was a householder living with one or more persons related to him/her by blood, marriage or 

adoption. The householder and all persons in the household related to him/her were family members. Non-family 

householder was a householder living alone or with non-relatives only. 

Spouse - was the person formally married to and living with the householder. 

persons who were consensually married and the spouse lived with the householder. 

This category also included 

The number of spouses, however, was generally less than half of the number of married persons with spouse 

present since more than one married couple can live in a household, but only spouses of householders were 

specifically identified as spouse.

Child - included a son or daughter by birth, a stepchild, or adopted child of the householder, regardless of the 

child’s age or marital status. 

(a) Natural son/daughter - was the child of the householder by birth, regardless of age or marital status. 

(b) Adopted son/daughter - was the child of the householder by legal adoption, regardless of age or marital 

status. 

(c) Stepson/stepdaughter - was the child of the householder through marriage but not by birth. This excluded 

sons-in-law, daughters-in-law and foster children. If the child was legally adopted by the householder, the 

child was still classified as stepson or stepdaughter. 

(d) Own Child - was a never married child under 18 years who was a son or daughter by birth, a stepchild, or 

adopted child of the householder. In certain tabulations, own children were further classified as living with 

two parents or with one parent only. Own children of the householder living with two parents were, by 

definition, found only in married-couple families. 

(e) Related Children - in a family included own children and all other persons under 18 years of age in the 

household, regardless of marital status, who were related to the householder, except the spouse of the 

householder. Foster children were not included since they were not related to the householder. 

Other Relatives - In tabulations, these included any household member related to the householder by birth, 

marriage or adoption, but not included specifically in another relationship category. These included: 

(a) Brother/sister - referred to natural brother/sister, stepbrother/stepsister, and brother/sister by adoption 

of the householder. Brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law were included in the other relative category. 

(b) Father/mother - referred to parents by birth, step-parents, and parents by adoption of the householder. 

Parents-in-law were classified as other relative. 

(c) Grandchild - referred to the grandson/granddaughter of the householder. 

(d) Other relatives - included other household members not listed in the above category who were related to the 

householder by blood, marriage, or adoption, e.g. aunt/uncle, niece/nephew, grandparent, cousin, mother-in-law, 

daughter-in-law, etc. 

Non-relatives - included the other household members and foster children who were not related to the householder 

by blood, marriage, or adoption, e.g. roomer, boarder, domestic helper, unmarried partner, etc. 

When relationship was not reported for an individual, it was imputed according to the responses for age, sex, 

and marital status for that person while maintaining consistency with responses for other individuals in the 

household. (For more information on imputation, see Appendix _, Accuracy of Data.) 

Unrelated Individual 

An unrelated individual was: a householder living alone or with non-relatives only; a household member who was 

not related to the householder, or a person living in group quarters who was not an inmate of an institution. 

INCOME IN 2004 

Data on the individual’s income received during the calendar year 2004 were obtained from answers to 

questionnaire items 30a through 30h and 31. Questions on money income received were asked of all persons 15 

years old and over. 

Total income was the algebraic sum of the amounts reported separately for wage or salary income; net selfemployment 

income from farm and non-farm business, proprietorship, or partnership; money received in customs 

payments; Social Security or retirement pensions; remittances; and other income. Earnings was defined as the 

sum of wage or salary income and net self-employment income from farm and non-farm business, proprietorship, or 

partnership. Earnings represented the amount of income received regularly before deductions for personal income 

taxes, Social Security, bond purchases, union dues, medicare deductions, etc. 

Receipts from the following sources were not included as income: money received from the sale of property 

(unless the recipient was engaged in the business of selling such property); the value of income in kind from 

food stamps, public housing subsidies, medical care, employer contributions for persons, etc.; withdrawal of 

bank deposits; money borrowed; tax refunds; exchange of money between relatives living in the same household; 

gifts and lump-sum inheritances, insurance payments, and other types of lump-sum receipts. 

Income Type in 2004 

The main types of money income received in 2004 as reported in the 2005 census were defined as follows: 

(a) Wage and Salary Income - This was the total money earned by a person working as an employee for a private 

business or branch of government. This included wages, salary, piece-rate payments, commissions, tips, bonuses, 

Armed Forces pay, National Guard or Reserve pay, sick leave pay, and assistantships and teaching fellowships,

prior to deductions for witholding tax, Social Security, union dues, bonds, uniforms, medicare deductions, 

pensions, etc. 

(b) Self-Employment Income (net) - This was the (gross receipts) money income received from farm and non-farm 

business, proprietorship or partnership less business or operating expenses. Gross receipts from non-farm 

business included all money received from goods sold and services rendered plus the value of any net inventory 

increase. Business expenses included the cost of merchandise purchased; expense for rent, heat, light and 

power used in business; annual depreciation of machinery and other business property; decrease in the value 

of inventory; wages and salaries paid to employees; expense allowances; business taxes; interest on business 

mortgages/debts; etc. Excluded as business expenses were money spent for purchase of buildings or machinery, or 

permanent improvements to existing property. 

For farm business, gross receipts included money income received from the sale of farm products; payments for 

natural crop disaster, price supports, or incentive payments for participation in government farm programs; net 

income from custom 

farm work; net income from recreational services provided by the farmer such as 

proceeds from hunting and fishing, or camping; and commodity credit loans which were not repaid in 2004. 

Operating expenses included the cost of feed, fertilizer, seeds, bulbs, plants, trees, sprays, insecticides, 

hardware, dairy supplies, tools, and livestock purchases; rental of machinery; cash wages for labor; 

cash rent paid; cash profits paid to the owner, interest on farm mortgages; building repairs; depreciation on 

farm equipment; farm taxes, etc. 

Customs Payments Received - 

(Palauan) payments. 

These included the total amount of money received from all sources as customs 

(c) Social Security and Retirement Income - Social Security income included payments made by the Federal, 

National and State Governments under retirement, survivors and disability insurance programs to retired 

persons, to dependents of deceased insured workers, or to disabled workers. Retirement incomes were payments 

from companies, unions, Federal, National, State or other local government agencies to former employees 

(including members of the Armed Forces) or their survivors in the form of private pensions, government employee 

pensions, disability pensions, annuities from insurance and money income from Individual Retirement Account 

(IRA) or KEOGH plans. 

(d) Remittances - These were money received periodically from persons living outside the household. Remittances 

included voluntary contributions by non-resident relatives or friends, money received by parents from children 

not living with them, and voluntary allotment checks sent by US Armed Forces personnel to relatives not living 

with them. Occasional gifts or contributions are excluded. 

In The 2005 census tabulations, data on remittances were shown separately for those received from: (a) Guam and 

CNMI, (b) Hawaii and US mainland, and © other places. 

(e) Other Income - This included unemployment compensation, child support or alimony, veterans' payments, 

periodic income received from private charitable organization, cash scholarships, fellowships and stipends 

received by students, interest, dividends, net rental income from real estate, net royalty income, and estates 

and trust funds. 

Household Income - This included the income of the householder and all other persons 15 years old and over in 

the household, whether related to the householder or not. 

Family Income - This included the income of all members of the family 15 years old and over. Income of related 

persons who did not reside with the family in 2004 but were members of the family at the time of enumeration 

were included in family income. Family income did not include amounts received by members of the family in 

2004 if these persons no longer resided with the family at the time of enumeration. 

Income of Persons - For persons 15 years old and over, the total amounts of their income were summed. 

Median Income - Whether referring to household income or family income, the median income divides the 

statistical universe into two equal parts, one half of the total households or families had incomes above the 

median and the other half had incomes below the median. In computing the median income for households and 

families, those with no income were also included. The median income for persons was computed based only on 

persons with income. The median income values for household, families and persons were computed on the basis of 

more detailed income intervals than are shown in the census tabulations. 

Mean Income - This was obtained by dividing the total income of a particular statistical universe by the number 

of units in the universe. Thus, mean household income was obtained by dividing total household income by the 

total number of households. For various types of income, the means were based on households having those 

particular type of income. 

The 2005 census tabulations presented mean income or earnings for each type of income, also mean income for 

households and families.. 

Care should be exercised in using and interpreting mean income values for small sub-groups of the population as 

the mean is affected when extreme values are reported. It is especially susceptible to the effects of 

misreporting and processing errors. The median, which is not affected by extreme values, is a better measure 

than the mean when the population base is small. The mean, nevertheless, is shown in the tabulations even for 

small sub-groups because, when weighted according to the number of cases, the means are used to obtain summary 

measures for areas and groups other than those shown in census tabulations.

Per Capita Income - This was obtained by dividing the total income of a particular group by the total population 

in that group. Thus, per capita income of persons in households was derived by dividing the total income of 

households by the total population of persons in households. 

Percent Year Round Full Time Worker - This was the proportion of the population 15 years old and over who 

usually worked 35 or more hours per week for 50 to 52 weeks in 2004. 

Limitation of the Data - Since questionnaire entries for income reported by respondents were only estimates 

or based on memory, rather than on actual records, many persons tended to forget minor or irregular sources of 

income. This resulted to under-reporting of income and this became even more pronounced for income sources such 

as those from Social Security, customs payments, interest, etc. Over-reporting of income, on the other hand, 

resulted when income on self-employment was reported in gross rather than in net amounts. Another common error 

was the reporting of identical dollar amounts in two of the six types of income items where a respondent with 

only one source of income assumed that the second amount should be entered to represent total income. Such 

instances of over-reporting had an impact on the level of mean farm or non-farm self-employment income and mean 

income published for the various geographical subdivisions of the area. 

Income data covered money income only, and did not include non-cash income received by residents. Despite the 

shift to wage and salary labor, non-cash income derived from subsistence activities, as well as those received 

as customs payments, was still very common among Palauan households and these amounted to a significant portion 

during the year, if included to their total income. These included goods produced on farms and consumed by the 

household, fishing, livestock raised and consumed by the household, making handicrafts for own use, and other 

productive activities which were not for commercial purposes. The fact that many farm families received n 

important part of their income in the form of free housing and goods produced and consumed on the farm should be 

taken into consideration when comparing the income of farm and non-farm residents. Non-money income such as 

business expense accounts, use of business transportation and facilities, or partial compensation by business 

for medical and educational expenses was also received by non-farm residents. In comparing income data for 2004 

and earlier years, it should be noted that an increase or decrease in money income did not necessarily represent 

a comparable change in real income, unless adjustments for changes in prices were made. 

In income tabulations for households and families, the lowest income group (e.g., less than $2,500) included 

those that were classified as having no income in 2004. Many of these were living on income in kind, savings or 

gifts, were newly created families, or families in which the sole breadwinner had recently died or left the 

household. However, many of the households and families which reported no income probably had some money income 

which was not recorded in the census. Some may have been living on subsistence activity and, therefore, had 

received non-money income only. 

Extensive computer editing procedures were instituted in the data processing operation to reduce some of the 

reporting errors and to improve the accuracy of the income data. These procedures improved the consistency of 

reported income items associated with work experience, occupation and class of worker. For example, if persons 

reported they were self-employed on their own farm or business, not incorporated, but had reported wage and 

salary earnings only, the latter amount was shifted to net self-employment income. Also, if any respondent 

reported total income only, the amount was generally assigned to one of the type of income items according to 

responses to work experience and class-of-worker questions. Another type of problem was the non-reporting of 

income data. Procedures were then devised to impute appropriate values with either no income or positive or 

negative dollar amounts for the missing entries. 

Comparability - The income data collected in the 1980 and 1970 censuses were similar to the 2005, 2000, 1995 

and 1990 censuses, but there were variations in the detail of the questions and the presentation of income types 

in the tabulations. The 2000 census included another type of income - Customs Payments Received - which in 

earlier censuses was classified in the Other Income category. In 2005, various income sources from subsistence 

were included for the first time. 

(For more information on comparability of income data with earlier censuses, refer to Appendix B of the 1990 

Census of Population and Housing publication - Republic of Palau.) 

INDUSTRY, OCCUPATION, AND CLASS OF WORKER 

Data on industry, occupation and class of worker were derived from answers to questionnaire items 26, 27 and 28, 

respectively. Data for these items referred to the employed person’s during the census reference week. For 

persons who had more than one job, the data referred to the job at which they worked the most number of hours 

during the reference week. For unemployed persons, the data concerning work referred to the last or most recent 

job or business since 1990. (For more information, see discussion under Reference Week.) 

Information or descriptions of industry and occupation provided by the respondents were converted to codes by 

the census editors based on the Alphabetical Index of Industries and Occupations. 

Industry 

Industry data were obtained from answers to the question: For whom did the person work? There were rules to 

follow in reporting in order to correctly determine the kind of business or industry and facilitate office 

coding: 

(a) A person on active duty in the US Armed Forces or an unemployed person who was on active duty in the US 

Armed Forces in his/her last job since 1999 was to report the branch of service in the Armed Forces, e.g. Army,

Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard. 

(b) A person was to report the full name of the company, business or other employer. For employers without 

company name, such as dentist's or lawyer's office, the name of the employer was to be reported. For selfemployed 

individual without a company name, the enumerators were instructed to simply write self-employed as the 

industry may be deduced from the occupation reported. 

(c) For employees of a government agency, they were to report the specific organization for which they worked, 

what the activity of the agency was and whether it was a Federal, National, State or local government. 

(d) The exact description of the kind of business or industry must have indicated the general and specific 

activity of a company, business or employer at the location where the person worked. 

(e) If a company had more than one kind of business or industrial activity carried on in the same place, only 

the major business or activity was to be reported at that location. For many activities in different locations, 

only the business or activity where the person actually worked was to be reported. 

(f) When an individual worked as domestic or other private household worker in the home of another person, the 

industry to be reported was private home. 

The industry classification system developed for the 1990 census, and subsequently used in 2000 and 2005, 

consisted of 235 categories for employed persons, classified into 13 major industry groups. Since 1940, the 

industrial classification was based on the Standard and Industrial Classification Manual (SIC). The 1990 census 

classification was developed from the 1987 SIC published by the Office of Management and Budget, Executive 

Office of the President. 

The SIC was designed primarily to classify establishments by the type of industrial activity in which they were 

engaged. However, census data which were collected from households differ in detail and coverage from those 

obtained from establishment surveys. Therefore, the census classification systems, while defined in SIC terms, 

cannot reflect in full details all categories. There are several levels of industrial classification found in 

census tabulations. 

The industry category, Public Administration, was limited to regular government functions such as legislative, 

judicial, administrative, and regulatory activities of governments. Other government organizations such as 

schools, hospitals, liquor stores, and bus lines were classified by industry according to the activity in which 

they were engaged. 

Occupation 

Occupation described clearly and specifically the kind of work a person did. In some cases, it revealed what a 

person was called when he/she performed a particular kind of work. 

The occupation of a person was ascertained by asking the question: What kind of work was the person doing? The 

answer required a sufficient and detailed description of the kind of work so as to permit office coding. The 

occupational classifications system developed for the 1990 census, and also used in 2000 and 2005, consisted of 

500 specific occupational categories for employed persons arranged into 6 summary and 13 major occupational 

groups. This classification was developed to be consistent with the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) 

Manual: 1980, published by the Office of Federal Statistical Policy and Standards, U.S. Department of Commerce. 

The 2005 census tabulations presented data on several levels of occupational details. 

Some occupation groups are related closely to certain industries. Operators of transport equipment, farm 

operators and workers, and private household workers accounted for large proportions of their respective 

industries of transportation, agriculture, and private households. However, the industry categories included 

persons in other occupations. For example, persons employed in agriculture included truck drivers, as well as 

bookkeepers; persons employed in the transportation industry included mechanics, freight handlers, as well as 

payroll clerks; and persons employed in private household industry included occupations such as chauffeur, 

gardener, as well as secretary. 


The class of worker referred to the same job as the respondent's industry and occupation. Built-in 

responses to the class of worker were listed in the questionnaire, which were as follows: 

(a) Private wage and salary worker - This category was for employees of a private company or business or of an 

individual who worked for wages, salary, commission, tips, payment in kind, or piece-rate payment. This also 

included employees of churches, unions, YMCAs, political parties, professional associations, non-profit 

hospitals and other non-government organizations. 

(b) National Government worker - This included employees of National Government agencies, including employees of 

public schools, hospitals, government-owned bus lines, government-owned electric power utilities, etc., 

regardless of their industry classification. 

(c) State Government worker - 

classification.. 

This included Palau state government employees, regardless of their industry 

(d)US or other government worker - 

This category included employees of the US government, and civilian

employees and active duty members of the US Armed Forces. Included also were employees of foreign governments, 

the United Nations, or other formal international organizations controlled by governments. 

(e) Self-employed worker - This included persons who worked for profit or fees in their own unincorporated 

business, professional practice or farm, shop, etc. Persons who owned all or most of the stock in a private 

corporation were also classified in this category. Managers or other executives hired to manage a business or 

farm, salesperson working for commissions, or officers in corporation were not included in this category, but 

classified as private wage and salary workers. 

(f) Unpaid family worker - This referred to persons who worked without pay in a business or farm operated by a 

relative. Room, board and cash allowance were not counted as pay for these family members. 

Occasionally, respondents provided industry, occupation, or class of worker descriptions which were not 

sufficiently specific for precise classification or did not report on these items at all. Some of these cases 

were corrected through the field editing process and coding operation. In coding, certain types of incomplete 

entries were corrected using the Alphabetical Index of Industries and Occupations. In certain situations, it 

was possible to assign an industry code based on the occupation reported. 

Following the coding operation, there was the computer edit and an allocation process. The edit determined 

first whether a respondent was in the universe which required an industry and occupation code. The codes for 

industry, occupation and class of worker were checked to ensure they were valid and consistent with each other. 

Invalid and inconsistent codes were either blanked or corrected. 

If one or more of the three codes were blank after the edit, a code was assigned from a person having similar 

characteristics based on items such as age, sex, education, residence and weeks worked. If all the labor force 

and income data were also blank, all these economic items were assigned from one other person who provided all 

the necessary data. 

Comparability - Comparability of industry and occupation data was affected by a number of factors, primarily 

the changes or revisions to the classification systems used. For both the industry and occupation 

classification systems, the basic structures were generally the same from 1940 to 1970, but changes in the 

individual categories limited comparability of the data from one census to another. These changes were needed 

because of the birth of new industries and occupations, as well as the death of others, the growth and decline 

of existing industries and occupations, and the desire of analysts and users for more detailed presentation of 

data. Another cause of incomparability was the possible movement of a segment of a category to a different 

category in the next census. Changes in the nature of jobs and respondent terminology and the refinement of 

category composition made this movements necessary. 

Other factors that affected data comparability included the universe to which the data referred (in 1970, the 

age cutoff for labor force was changed from 14 years to 16 years), how the industry and occupation questions 

were worded in the questionnaire, improvements in the coding procedures, and how the not reported cases were 

handled. Prior to 1970, they were placed in the residual categories, Industry not reported and Occupation not 

reported. In 1970, an allocation process was introduced that assigned these cases to major groups. In 1980 

through 2005, the Not reported cases were assigned to individual categories. 

The 1990 census introduced an additional class of worker category, private not-for-profit workers, which was a 

subset of the 1980 category, employee of private employer. The 2000 and 2005 category, private wage and salary 

worker included those working for profit and not-for- profit businesses. 

Also, the 1990 category, private not-for-profit, included employees of foreign governments, the United Nations, 

etc. which were classified as U.S. and other government worker in the 2000 and 2005 censuses, and as Federal 

Government worker in the 1980 and 1970 censuses. 

Comparability between statistics on industry and occupation from the 2000 and 2005 censuses, and earlier 

censuses, and those from other sources is affected by the factors described in the section Employment Status. 

Industry data from population censuses cover all industries and all types of workers, whereas, data from 

establishment surveys often excluded private household workers, government workers, and the self-employed. 

Also, the responses provided by household respondents may have differed in detail and nature from those obtained 

from establishments. 

(For more information on comparability, refer to Appendix B of the 1990 Census of Population and Housing 

publication - Republic of Palau.) 

LANGUAGE SPOKEN AT HOME 

Data on language spoken at home were derived from the answers to questionnaire items 16a through 16c. These 

were intended to measure the extent to which languages other than Palauan were being spoken and how frequently 

they were spoken relative to Palauan. The questions were asked of all persons. 

Language Spoken at Home - Persons were asked in questionnaire item 16a whether they currently spoke only 

Palauan at home. Persons who answered Yes were not asked the remainder of the language questions. 

Those persons who reported speaking a language other than Palauan were asked in question item 16b to report the 

language spoken at home. If more than one language was spoken, the person was asked which language was spoken

most often. If it could not be determined which was spoken most often, the first language the person learned to 

speak was recorded. The response was recorded by the enumerator and later on coded using a detailed list of 

languages which distinguished more than 30 languages or language groups. 

The imputation procedure for persons who failed to report language spoken at home involved attributing the 

language of other household members to a person with no entry. If that was not possible, the language of a 

person of similar ethnic origin and other demographic characteristics was imputed. 

Comparability - In the 2000 and 2005 censuses, persons who reported in question item 16b that they spoke a 

language other than Palauan at home were asked to report in item 16c if this language was spoken more 

frequently than Palauan. Questionnaire items were different in the 1980 and 1990 censuses as the respondents 

were asked to report their proficiency in writing and speaking in any language, and whether a non-English 

language spoken at home was spoken more frequently than English. 

Data on language spoken at home were tabulated for persons 5 years old and over only. Since the responses to 

questionnaire item 16b were expected to be numerous, only the most common languages were presented in details in 

the tabulations: Palauan, English, Carolinian, Pilipino, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese/Taiwanese. Languages 

having lesser usage were grouped into Other Micronesian, Asian, and Other language, where appropriate. The 

Pilipino language, though synonymous to Tagalog, also included other Philippine languages spoken by residents. 


Data on the legal residence were obtained from responses to questionnaire item 17, which was asked of persons 18 

years old and over. The legal residence was the place where the person had registered to vote. The legal 

residence of a person may be different from his usual residence. However, for Palauan citizens, the legal 

residence may either be in the same state in Palau as their usual residence, or it could be in a different 

state. 

For persons registered in Palau, the hamlet in Koror or the state or island was reported. For persons 

registered in the U.S., the name of the State was also reported. Those registered in FSM or the Marshall 

Islands reported the lowest level of geography. Persons registered in a foreign country including U.S. 

territory or commonwealth reported only the name of the country. 

Comparability - For the first time in the 2000 census, question on legal residence of a person was asked. The 

2005 question was the same as 2000. The census tabulations, however, limited the geographic presentation to the 

16 states in Palau, Guam, CNMI, USA, FSM, Philippines, Japan, Korea, and China/Taiwan. Other countries not 

classified in any of these were grouped under Asia and Others, where appropriate. 

Where tabulations are shown for households and families, the data referred to the legal residence of the 

householders. 


The data on marital status were derived from answers to questionnaire item 6. which was asked of all persons. 

The marital status classification referred to the status at the time of enumeration. Data for marital status, 

however, were tabulated for persons 15 years old and over only. 

All persons were asked whether they were now married, consensually married, widowed, divorced, separated or 

never married. Couples who lived together were allowed to report the marital status they considered the most 

appropriate. 

Never Married - included all persons who had never been married, including persons whose only marriage(s) was 

annulled. 

Now Married, Except Separated - included persons whose current marriage had not ended through widowhood, 

divorce, or separation (regardless of previous marital history). The category also included couples who live 

together or person in common-law marriages, if they considered this category the most appropriate. In certain 

tabulations, currently married person were further classified as spouse present or spouse absent. In selected 

tabulations, data for married and separated persons were reorganized and combined with information on the 

presence of the spouse in the same household. 

Consensually Married - included persons living in a martial union without a civil or religious matrimonial 

contract and were classified as now married. They were reported separately as consensually married. The category 

also included couples who lived together if they considered this category the appropriate. 

Separated - included persons legally separated or otherwise absent from their spouses because of marital 

discord. Included were person who had been deserted or who had parted because they no longer wanted to live 

together but had not obtained a divorce. 

Widowed - included widows and widowers who had not remarried. 

Divorced - included persons who were legally divorced and who not remarried. 

Now Married - included all persons whose current marriage has not ended by widowhood or divorce. This category

included persons defined above as separated. 

Comparability - The 2005 census marital status definitions were the same as those used in the 1990 through 2000 

censuses, and these reflected the 1980 census with the exception of the term never married which replaced the 

1980 term single in tabulations. A general marital status question has been asked in every Palau census since 

1980. 


Data on military status were derived from answers to questionnaire item 19, which was asked of all persons 15 

years old and over. For census tabulations, data on military status were shown for persons 16 years old and 

over who were: on active duty (at the time of enumeration) in the US Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps or the 

Coast Guard; on active duty in the past (but not at the time of enumeration); Reserves or National Guard only; 

and not in active duty. 

Limitation of the Data - There may be a tendency for the following kinds of persons to report erroneously that 

they served on active duty in the Armed Forces: 

(a) persons who served in the National Guard or military Reserves but were never called to active duty; 

(b) civilian employees or volunteers for the USO, Red Cross, or the Department of Defense or its predecessor 

Departments (War and Navy); and 

(c) employees of the Merchant Marine or Public Health Service. 

Comparability - Since census data on military status were based on self-reported responses, they may differ 

from data from other sources such as administrative records of the Department of Defense. 

The wording of the question on military status for the 2005 census was limited to whether persons were now on 

active duty; had been on active duty in the past, but not now; had served in the Reserves or National Guard; or 

had not been on active duty, representing only one part of a two part question in 1990. 

In the 1990 census, the question was expanded from the veteran/not veteran question in 1980 to include questions 

on current active duty status and service in the military Reserves and the National Guard. The expansion was 

intended to clarify the appropriate response for persons in the Armed Forces and for persons who served in the 

National Guard or military Reserve units only. . 

PLACE OF BIRTH AND PARENTS’ PLACE OF BIRTH 

The data on place of birth were derived from answer to questionnaire item 7. Mother’s place of birth and 

father’s place of birth were derived from answers to questionnaire items 11a and 11b, respectively. Each place 

of birth question asked for the name of state in Palau, the U.S. State, or the foreign country where the person 

or the person's parents were born according to current international boundaries. Since numerous changes in 

boundaries of foreign countries have occurred in the last century, some persons may have reported their place of 

birth or their parents' place of birth in terms of boundaries that existed at the time of the birth or 

emigration, or in accordance with their own national preference. 

Persons not reporting place of birth were assigned the birthplace of another family member or were allocated the 

response of another person or parent with similar characteristics. Persons allocated as born outside the area of 

current residence were not allocated a specific foreign country of birth, but were classified as Other which 

meant that country or area was not specified. The places of birth shown in the report were selected base on the 

number of respondents who chose to report that area or country of birth. 

Comparability - Similar data were shown in tabulations for the 2005 census, as for the 1980, 1990, 1995 and 2000 

censuses. However, nonresponse was not allocated. Instead, such persons were shown separately in the tables 

under Elsewhere. 

Where tabulations are shown for households and families, the data referred to the place of birth of 

householders. 

PLACE OF WORK 

Data on Place of Work were obtained from answers to questionnaire item 22, which was asked of persons 15 years 

old and over who indicated that they worked full time or part time, whether also did subsistence activity or 

not, during the census reference week. 

The 2005 census tabulations presented data on Place of Work for civilian workers 16 years old and over, which 

referred to employed persons at work during the census reference week. (For more information on employed, 

refer to discussion under Employment Status.) 

POVERTY STATUS IN 2004 

The data on poverty status were derived from answers to the same questions as the income data, questionnaire 

items 30 and 31. (For more information, see the discussion under Income in 2004.) Poverty statistics presented

in the 2000 census and various census publications were based on a definition originated by the Social Security 

Administration in 1964 and subsequently modified by Federal inter-agency committees in 1969 and 1980 and 

prescribed by the Office of Management and Budget in Directive 14 as the standard to be used by Federal 

agencies for statistical purposes. 

At the core of this definition was the 1961 economy food plan, the least costly of four nutritionally adequate 

food plans designed by the Department of Agriculture. It was determined from the Agriculture Department's 1955 

survey of food consumption that families of three or more persons spend approximately one-third of their income 

on food; hence, the poverty level for these families was set at three times the cost of the economy food plan. 

For smaller families and persons living alone, the cost of the economy food plan was multiplied by factors that 

were slightly higher to compensate for the relatively larger fixed expenses for these smaller households. 

The income cutoffs used by the Palau Office of Planning and Statistics to determine the poverty status of 

families and unrelated individuals included a set of 48 thresholds arranged in a two-dimensional matrix 

consisting of family size (from 1 person to 9 or more persons) cross-classified by presence and number of family 

members under 18 years old (from no children present to 8 or more children present). Unrelated individuals and 

two-person families were further differentiated by age of householder (under 65 years old and 65 years old and 

over). 

The total income of each family or unrelated individual in the sample was tested against the appropriate 

poverty threshold to determine the poverty status of that family or unrelated individual. If the total income 

was less than the corresponding cutoff, the family or unrelated individual was classified as below the poverty 

level. The number of persons below the poverty level was the sum of the number of persons in families with 

incomes below the poverty level and the number of unrelated individuals with incomes below the poverty level. 

The poverty thresholds are revised annually to allow for changes in the cost of living as reflected in the 

Consumer Price Index. Poverty thresholds were applied on a national basis for the U.S. and were not adjusted 

for regional, state or local variations in the cost of living. There-fore, the thresholds used for Palau were 

the same as those used in the United States. For a detailed discussion of the poverty definition, see U.S. 

Bureau of the Census, Current Population Reports, Series P-60, No.171, Poverty in the United States: 1988 and 

1989. 

Persons for Whom Poverty Status was Determined - Poverty status was determined for all persons except 

institutionalized persons, persons in military group quarters and in college dormitories. These groups were 

also excluded from the denominator when calculating poverty rates. 

Specified Poverty Levels - Since the poverty levels currently used by the U.S. Federal Government do not meet 

all the needs of data users, some of the data were presented for alternate levels. These specified poverty 

levels were obtained by multiplying the income cutoffs at the poverty level by the appropriate factor. 

Weighted Average Thresholds at the Poverty Level - The average thresholds were weighted by the presence and 

number of children. For example, the weighted average threshold for a given family size was obtained by 

multiplying the threshold for each presence and number of children category within the given family size by the 

number of families in that category. These products were then aggregated across the entire range of presence 

and number of children categories, and the aggregate was divided by the total number of families in the group to 

yield the weighted average threshold at the poverty level for that family size. 

Since the basic thresholds used to determine the poverty status of families and unrelated individuals were 

applied to all families and unrelated individuals, the weighted average poverty thresholds were derived using 

all families and unrelated individuals rather than just those classified as being below the poverty level. 

Comparability - The poverty definition used in the 2005 census was the same as that used in the previous 

censuses. This definition differed slightly from that used in the 1970 census. Three technical modifications 

were made to the definition used in the 1970 census as described below: 

(a) The separate thresholds for families with a female householder with no husband present and all other 

families were eliminated. For the 1980 and 1990 censuses, the weighted average of the poverty thresholds for 

these two types of families was applied to all types of families, regardless of the sex of the householder. 

(b) Farm families and farm unrelated individuals no longer had a set of poverty thresholds that were lower than 

the thresholds applied to nonfarm families and unrelated individuals. The farm thresholds were 85 percent of the 

corresponding levels for nonfarm families in the 1970 census. The same thresholds were applied to all families 

and unrelated individuals regardless of residence in 1980 and 1990. 

(c) The thresholds by size of family were extended from 7 or more persons in 1970 to 9 or more persons in 1980 

and 1990. 

The population covered in the poverty statistics derived from the 1980 and 1990 censuses was essentially the 

same as in the 1970 census. The only difference was that in 1980 and 1990, unrelated individuals under 15 years 

old were excluded from the poverty universe, while in 1970, only those under 14 years old were excluded. The 

poverty data from the 1960 census excluded all persons in group quarters and included all unrelated individuals 

regardless of age. It was unlikely that these differences in population coverage would have had significant 

impact when comparing the poverty data for persons since the 1960 censuses. 

REASON FOR MIGRATION

Data on reason for migration were derived from built-in responses to questionnaire item 10, which was asked of 

persons born outside Palau. The question, Why did this person come to Palau the first time? was asked of persons 

who indicated in the question on citizenship (item 8) that they were not born in Palau. If the person gave more 

than one reason, the main reason was considered. The possible reasons were as follows: 

(a) Employment - if a person came to Palau for the first time primarily for employment, even if he/she had 

other reasons for coming; 

(b) Spouse of employed person - if a person came to Palau for the first time primarily because he/she was a 

spouse of a person who came either for employment or was already employed in Palau; 

(d) Dependent of employed person - if a person came to Palau for the first time primarily because he/she was 

the dependent (but not the spouse) of a person who came either for employment or was already employed in Palau; 

(e) Family member of employed person - if a person came to Palau for the first time primarily because he/she 

was a family member (other than a spouse or a direct dependent) of a person who was either employed or who came 

for employment in Palau; 

(f) Student - if a person came to Palau for the first time primarily to be a student at either an elementary, 

high school or college; 

(g) Missionary - if a person came primarily for mis-sionary activities; 

(h) Medical reasons - if a person came to Palau for the first time primarily for medical reasons even if 

he/she had other reasons for coming; 

(i) Visiting or vacation - if a person came to Palau for the first time primarily to visit or for vacation, 

even if the person eventually stayed or had other reasons for coming; 

(j)Others - if the person had some other reasons for coming to Palau for the first time other than those listed 

above, he/she was asked to state the specific reason. 

Comparability - The question on reason for migration to Palau was asked for the first time in the 1995 census, 

and continued in subsequent censuses.. 

REFERENCE WEEK 

The data on labor force status was related to the reference week; that is, the calendar week preceding the data 

on which the respondents were interviewed by enumerators. This week was not the same for all respondents since 

the enumeration was not completed in one week. The occurrence of holidays during the enumeration period could 

affect the data on actual hours worked during the reference week, but probably had no effect on overall 

measurement of employment status. 

Comparability - The reference weeks for the 2005 census included that time between the first week of April 2005 

and the end of the month during which time enumerators worked in the field. 

The differing occurrence of the various holidays could affect the comparability of the 2005 census data and 

those from previous censuses on actual hours worked for some areas if the respective weeks containing holidays 

were the reference weeks for a significant number of persons. The holidays probably did not affect the overall 

measurement of employment status since this information was based on work activity during the entire reference 

week. 

RELIGION 

Data on religion were derived from answers to questionnaire item 4a, which was asked of all persons. 

This item had an open-ended question and the responses were recorded by the enumerators. These responses were 

later on coded using a list of more than 10 identified religions. Persons who said they had no religion were 

classified into the None category, while those who refused to answer the question were classified into the 

Refused category. 

Comparability - The question on religion was asked for the first time in the 2000 census, and data were shown 

for all persons, regardless of age. The question was continued in 2005. 


In the 2005 census, data on residence in 2000 were derived from answers to questionnaire items 14a and 14b, 

which were asked of persons born before 2000. For persons who reported in item 14a that they lived in a 

different house on April 2000, other than their current residence on the date of enumeration, question item 14b 

asked for hamlet or State in Palau, U.S. state or territory or foreign country where those persons were living 

on that date. Residence in 2000 was used in conjunction with location of current residence to determine the 

extent of residential mobility of the population and the resulting redistribution of the population among the 

states and between the states and the U.S. states and other foreign countries. 

When no information on residence in 2000 was reported for a person, information for other family members, if

available, was used to assign a location of residence in 2000. All cases of non-response or incomplete response 

that were not assigned a previous residence based on information from other family members were allocated the 

previous residence of another person with similar characteristics who provided complete information. 

The tabulation category Same House included all persons 5 years old and over who did not move during the 5 

years, as well as those who had moved but by 2005 had returned to their 2000 residence. The category Different 

House in Palau included persons who lived in Palau in 2000 but in a different house or apartment from the one 

they occupied on April 1, 2000. These movers were then further subdivided according to the type of move. 

In most tabulations, persons who moved within Palau were divided into those moving within the same state and 

those moving from a different state. Movers from outside Palau were divided into groups according to their 2000 

residence: Guam, CNMI, U.S., FSM, Asia and Others. The Asia group were further subdivided into 4 countries: 

Philippines, Japan, Korea, and China/Taiwan; with the remaining difference included in Asia. The last group 

Others included persons who were residing in a foreign country, other than those earlier listed. 

The number of persons who were living in a different house in 2000 was somewhat less than the total number of 

moves during the five-year period. Some persons in the same house at the two dates had moved during the fiveyear 

period but by the time of the census had returned to their 2000 residence. Other persons who were living 

in a different house had made one or more intermediate moves. For similar reasons, the number of persons living 

on a different island may be understated. 

Comparability - The 2005 census question reported data similar to that in the 1990, 1995, and 2000 censuses. 

Similar questions were also asked in previous censuses, but previous residence was not allocated for 

nonresponse in 1980. These persons were shown in the category residence in 1975 not reported. In the 1970 

census, the migration questions did not ask for residence in a specific village or island within the area. 

SCHOOL ENROLLMENT AND LABOR FORCE STATUS 

Tabulation of data on enrollment, educational attain-ment, and labor force status for the population 16 to 19 

years old allowed for the calculation of the proportion of the age group who were not enrolled in school and not 

high school graduates, or dropouts. Definitions of the three topics and descriptions of the census items from 

which they were derived were presented in Educational Attainment, Employment Status and School Enrollment and 

Type of School. The published tabulations included both the civilian and Armed Forces populations. 

Comparability - The tabulation of school enrollment by labor force status in the 2005 census was similar to 

that published in previous census reports. 


Data on school enrollment were derived from answers to questionnaire item 12, which was asked of all persons. 

Persons were classified as enrolled in school if they reported attending a regular public or private school or 

college at any time between February 1, 2005 and the time of enumeration. The question included instructions to 

include only nursery school, kindergarten, elementary school, and schooling which would lead to a high school 

diploma or a college degree as regular school. 

Enumerators were instructed that enrollment in a trade or business school, company training, or tutor-ing were 

not to be included unless the course would be accepted for credit at a regular elementary school, high school, 

or college. Persons who did not answer the enrollment question were considered as not enrolled. 

Public and Private School - Persons who attended school in the reference period indicated whether they were 

enrolled in either public school, public college or private school, private college. A public school was 

defined as any school or college controlled and supported by the state, national or Federal Government. Schools 

supported and controlled primarily by religious organizations or other private groups were defined as private. 

Level of School in Which Enrolled - Persons who were enrolled in school were classified as enrolled in 

preprimary school, elementary, high school or college according to their response to question item 13a (years of 

school completed or highest degree received). Persons who were enrolled and reported completing nursery school 

or less were classified as enrolled in preprimary school, which included kindergarten. Similarly, enrolled 

persons who had completed at least kindergarten, but not high school, were classified as enrolled in elementary 

or high school. Enrolled persons who reported completing high school or some college or having received a postsecondary 

degree were classified as enrolled in college. Enrolled persons who reported completing the twelfth 

grade but receiving No Diploma were classified as enrolled in high school. (For more information on level of 

school, see discussion on Educational Attainment.) 

Comparability - The 2000 and 2005 census questions on school enrollment and highest level of school completed 

mirrored that of the 1990 and 1995 censuses. In past years, instructions on the types of schools to include 

have changed. 

The age range for which enrollment data have been obtained and published has varied over the censuses. 

Type of school was first introduced in the 1970 census. The type of school was incorporated into the yes 

response categories for the enrollment question. The types identified were public, parochial and other private. 

In the 1980 census, private, church related and private, not church related replaced parochial and other 

private. Grade of enrollment was first available in the 1950 census, where it was obtained from responses to 

the question on highest grade of school completed. Enumerators were instructed that for a person still in 

school, the last grade completed will be the grade preceding the one in which he/she was now enrolled. From

1960 to 1980, grade of enrollment was obtained from the highest grade attended in the two-part question used to 

measure educational attainment. The form of the question from which level of enrollment was derived in the 1990 

census most closely corresponds to the question used in 1950. While data from prior censuses can be aggregated 

to provide levels of enrollment comparable to the 2005, 2000, 1995 and 1990 censuses, the recent census data 

cannot be disaggregated to show single grade of enrollment as in previous censuses. 

Data on school enrollment were also collected and published by other Federal and local government agencies. 

Where these data were obtained from administrative records of school systems and institutions of higher 

learning, they were only roughly comparable with data from population censuses and household surveys because of 

differences in definitions and concepts, subject matter covered, time references and enumeration methods. At 

the state level, the difference between the location of the institution and the residence of the student may 

affect the comparability of census and administrative data. Differences between the boundaries of school 

districts and census geographic units also may affect these comparisons. 

SEX 

The data on sex were derived from answers to questionnaire item 2, which was asked of all persons. For most 

cases in which sex was not reported, it was determined by the appropriate entry from the person’s given name and 

household relationship. Otherwise, sex was imputed according to the relationship to the householder and the age 

and marital status of the person. 

Sex Ratio - A measure derived by dividing the total number of males by the total number of females and 

multiplying by 100. 

Comparability - A question on the sex of individuals, similar to that asked in the 2005 census has been asked 

of the total population in every census. 

SUBSISTENCE ACTIVITIES 

The data on subsistence activities were derived from answers to questionnaire items 29d to 29g, which were asked 

of all persons 16 years and over who had worked in 2004. If a subsistence activity was not reported, it was 

assumed that the person did not do subsistence of that type, so “No” was imputed. The value of the subsistence 

in the year before the census was obtained in questionnaire items 30c to 30f. 

Comparability - This is first time these items have been asked in a census in the Republic of Palau so the data 

are not comparable to previous censuses. 

USUAL RESIDENCE 

Data on usual residence were derived from entries in questionnaire items E, F and G, which were completed by the 

census enumerators. Usual residence was the place where a person lived and slept most of the time. In the 2005 

census, the following rules applied to the enumeration of persons in their usual residence: 

(a) Family members, housemates, roommates, foster children, boarders, roomers and live-in employees were counted 

in their usual residence; that is, the place where they lived and slept most of the time; 

(b) Persons temporarily away on a business trip or vacation, in general hospital or for customs/ traditional 

purposes were counted in their usual residence; 

(c) High school and college students were counted in the place where they lived while attending school; 

(d) Children below college level but away in boarding schools were counted in the usual residence of their 

household; 

(e) Persons in the Armed Forces were counted in the place where they lived; 

(f ) Newborn babies still in the hospital were counted in the usual residence of their parent/s; 

(g) Persons were counted in the place where they stayed most of the week while working even if they had a home 

elsewhere; and 

(h) Persons who had no usual residence were counted on the place where they were staying on census day. 

(i) Excluded from the count of persons in the usual residence were the following: 

(j) Persons who usually lived somewhere else; 

(k) Persons who were away in an institution, such as prison, mental hospital, or nursing home; 

(l) College students who lived somewhere else while attending school; 

(m) Persons in the Armed Forces who lived somewhere else; and 

(n) Persons who stayed somewhere else most of the time while working. 

Comparability - In every census, data on usual residence of persons are made available in specified geographic

disaggregations. The 2005 census tabulations on usual residence presented data on the state level and by hamlet 

for the state of Koror. Where tabulations were shown for households and families, the data referred to the 

usual residence of the householders. 


Data on work status in 2004 were derived from answers to questionnaire items 29a through 29c, which were asked 

of persons 15 years old and over. Census tabulations, however, showed data for Work Status in 2004 for persons 

16 years old and over. Persons 16 years old and over who worked one or more weeks according to the criteria 

described below were classified as Worked in 2004. All other persons 16 years old and over were classified as 

Did not work in 2004. 

Weeks Worked in 2004 - Data on Weeks Worked in 2004 were derived from responses to questionnaire item 29b, which 

was asked of persons who indicated in question item 29a that they worked in 2004. 

The data pertain to the number of weeks in 2004 during which a person did any work for pay or profit (including 

paid vacation and paid sick leave) or worked without pay on a family farm or in a family business. Weeks of 

active service in the Armed Forces were also included. 

Usual Hours Worked per Week Worked in 2004 - The data on usual hours worked per week worked in 2004 were 

derived from answers to questionnaire item 29c. This question was asked of persons who indicated that they 

worked in 2004. 

The data pertain to the number of hours a person usually worked during the weeks worked in 2004. The respondent 

was to report the number of hours worked per week in the majority of the weeks he/she worked in 2004. If the 

hours worked per week varied considerably during 2004, the respondent was to report an approximate average of 

the hours worked per week. The statistics on usual hours worked per week in 2004 were not necessarily related 

to the data on actual hours worked during the census reference week (question item 21). Persons 16 years old 

and over who reported that they usually worked 35 or more hours each week during the weeks they worked were 

classified as Usually worked full time; persons who reported that they usually worked 1 to 34 hours were 

classified as Usually worked part time. 

Year-Round Full-Time Workers - All persons 16 years old and over who usually worked 35 hours or more per week 

for 50 to 52 weeks in 2004. 

Number of Workers in Family in 2004 - The term worker as used for these data was defined based on the criteria 

for Work Status in 2004. 

Limitation of the Data - It was probable that the number of persons who worked in 2004 and the number of weeks 

worked were understated since some respondents tended to forget intermittent or short periods of employment or 

to exclude weeks worked without pay. They may also be a tendency for persons to exclude weeks of paid vacation 

among their weeks worked; one result may be that the census figures may understate the number of persons who 

worked 50 to 52 weeks. 

Comparability - Data on weeks worked collected in the 2000 census were comparable with data from the 2005, 

2000, 1995, 1990, 1980, 1970, and 1960 censuses. In the 2005, 2000, 1995, 1990 and 1980 censuses, persons were 

asked to report the specific number of weeks they worked. 

YEAR OF ENTRY 

Data on year of entry were derived from answers to questionnaire item 9, which was asked of persons who were 

born outside Palau. The question, In what month and year did this person come to Palau to stay?, was asked of 

persons who indicated on the question on citizenship (item 8) that they were not born in Palau. For persons who 

have entered Palau more than once, the latest month and year they came to stay was considered as the date of 

entry. (For more information, see the discussion on Citizenship.) 

The 2005 census questions, tabulations and census data products about citizenship and year of entry included no 

reference to immigration. All persons who were born and resided outside Palau before becoming residents of 

Palau had a date of entry. Some of these persons were US citizens by birth (e.g. persons born abroad of 

American parents). To avoid any possible confusion concerning the date of entry of persons who were U.S. 

citizens by birth, the term year of entry was used in this report instead of the term year of immigration. 

Limitation of the Data - The census questions on nativity, citizenship, and year of entry were not designed to 

measure the degree of permanence of residence in Palau. The phrase to stay was used to obtain the year in which 

the person became a resident of Palau. Although the respondent was directed to indicate the year he/she entered 

the country to stay, it was difficult to ensure that respondents interpreted the phrase correctly. 

Comparability - A question on year of entry was asked in the 1990, 1995, 2000, and 2005 censuses. The number of 

arrival intervals was expanded to ten in 1990. In the 2000 and 2005 censuses, persons reported the month and 

year of entry into Palau. 

HOUSING CHARACTERISTICS

Living Quarters 

Living quarters were classified as housing units. Usually, living quarters were in structures intended for 

residential use (e.g. one-family home, apartment house, hotel or motel, boarding house, or mobile home). Living 

quarters may also be in structures intended for nonresidential use (for example, the rooms in a warehouse where 

a guard lives), as well as in places such as boats, tents, vans, shelters for the homeless, and dormitories. 

Housing Units - A housing unit was a house, an apartment, a mobile home or trailer, a group of rooms or a 

single room occupied as separate living quarters, or if vacant, intended for occupancy as separate living 

quarters. Separate living quarters were those in which the occupants live and eat separately from any other 

persons in the building and which had direct access from outside thr building or through a common hall. 

The occupants may be a single family, one person living alone, two or more families living together, or any 

other group of related or unrelated persons who shared living arrangements. For vacant units, the criteria of 

separateness and direct access were applied to the intended occupants whenever possible. If that information 

cannot be obtained, the criteria were applied to the previous occupants. 

Both occupied and vacant housing units were included in the housing unit inventory, except that recreational 

vehicles, boats, vans, tents and the like were included only if they were occupied as someone’s usual place of 

residence. Vacant mobile homes were included provided they were intended for occupancy on the site where they 

stand. Vacant mobile homes on dealers’ sales lots or in storage yards were excluded from the housing inventory. 

If the living quarters contained 9 or more persons unrelated to the householder or person in charge (a total of 

10 unrelated persons), they were classified as group quarters. If the living quarters contained 8 or fewer 

persons unrelated to the householder or person in charge, they were classified as housing units. 

Occupied Housing Units - A housing unit was classified as occupied if it was the usual place of residence of the 

person or group of persons living in it at the time of enumeration, or if the occupants were only temporarily 

absent; that is, away on vacation or business. If all the persons staying in the unit at the time of the 

census had their usual place of residence elsewhere, the unit was classified as vacant. A household included 

all the persons who occupy a housing unit as their usual place of residence. By definition, the count of 

occupied housing units for the tabulations was the same as the count of households or householders. 

Vacant Housing Units - A housing unit was vacant if no one was living in it at the time of enumeration, unless 

its occupants were only temporarily absent. Units temporarily occupied at the time of enumeration entirely by 

persons who had a usual residence elsewhere were also classified as vacant. (For more information, see 

discussion under Usual Home Elsewhere.) 

New units not yet occupied were classified as vacant housing units if construction had reached a point where all 

exterior windows and doors were installed and final usable floors were in place. Vacant units were excluded if 

they were open to the elements; that is, the roof, walls, windows, and/or doors no longer protected the interior 

from the elements, or if positive evidence existed (such as a sign on the house or in the block) that the unit 

was condemned or was to be demolished. Also excluded were quarters being used entirely for non-residential 

purposes, such as a store or an office, or quarters used for the storage of business supplies or inventory, 

machinery, or agricultural products. 

Hotels, Motels, Rooming Houses, etc. - Occupied rooms or suites of rooms in hotels, motels, and similar places 

were classified as housing units only when occupied by permanent residents; that is, persons who considered the 

hotel s their usual place of residence or had no usual place of residence elsewhere. Vacant rooms or suites of 

rooms were classified as housing units only in those hotels, motels, and similar places in which 75 percent or 

more of the accommodations were occupied by permanent residents. 

If any of the occupants in a rooming or boarding house lived and ate separately from others in the building and 

had direct access from outside, their quarters were classified as separate housing units. 

Staff Living Quarters - The living quarters occupied by staff personnel within any group quarters were separate 

housing units if they satisfied the housing unit criteria of separateness and direct access; otherwise, they 

were considered group quarters. 

Comparability - The first Census of Housing in 1940 established the dwelling unit concept. Although the term 

became housing unit and the definition has been modified slightly in succeeding censuses; the 2005 census 

definition for housing unit was the same as that used for the 2000, 1995, 1990 and 1980 censuses. 


Data on air conditioning were obtained from questionnaire item H22, which was asked for both occupied and vacant 

housing units. Air conditioning was defined as the cooling of air by a refrigeration unit. It did not include 

evaporative coolers, fans, or blowers, which were not connected to a refrigeration unit; however, it did include 

heat pumps. A central system was an installation which air conditioned a number of rooms. In an apartment 

building, each apartment may have its own central system, or there may be several systems, each providing 

central air conditioning for a group of apartments. A central system with individual room controls was a 

central air conditioning system. A room unit was an individual air conditioner which was installed in a window 

or an outside wall and was generally intended to cool one room, although it may sometimes be used to cool more 

than one room.

Comparability - Data on air conditioning were collected for the first time in 1980 and were shown only for yearround 

housing units. In the 1990 census, data were shown for all housing units while The 2005 census 

tabulations presented data for occupied housing units only. 


Data on Bathtub or shower were obtained from questionnaire item H16, which was asked for all occupied and vacant 

housing units. Bathtub or shower was counted only if the equipment was permanently connected to piped running 

water. Portable bathtubs were not included in the bathtub or shower category. 

Answers to the question, Do you have a bathtub or shower?, provided data on the number of housing units with 

bathtub or shower 

(a)inside the unit, 

(b)inside the building, 

(c)outside the building, or with no bathtub or shower. 

Comparability - Data on bathtub or shower were collected for the first time in 1970. In 1980, the data were 

shown separately as well as combined with data on water supply and flush toilet to identify the presence of 

complete plumbing facilities. 

BEDROOMS 

Data on bedrooms were obtained from questionnaire item 13, which was asked for both occupied and vacant housing 

units. The number of bedrooms was the count of rooms designed to be used as bedrooms; that is, the number of 

rooms that would be listed as bedrooms if the house or apartment were on the market for sale or for rent. 

Included were all rooms intended to be used as bedrooms even if they currently were being used for some other 

purpose. A housing unit consisting of only one room, such as a one-room efficiency apartment was classified, be 

definition, as having no bedroom. The 1995, 2000 and 2005 census tabulations presented data on the number of 

bedrooms for all housing units, as well as for owner-occupied and renter-occupied housing units. 

Comparability - Data on bedrooms have been collected in every census since 1960. In 1970 and 1980, data for 

bedrooms were shown only for year-round units. In past censuses, a room was defined as a bedroom if it was used 

mainly for sleeping even if also used for other purposes. Rooms that were designed to be used as bedrooms but 

used mainly for other purposes were not considered to be bedrooms. A distribution of housing units by number 

of bedrooms calculated from data collected in a 1986 U.S. test showed virtually no differences in the two 

versions except in the two-bedroom category, where the previous use definition showed a slightly lower 

proportion of units. In the 2000 and 2005 censuses, respondents were asked to provide a number for the count of 

bedrooms in the housing unit, whereas the 1990 census offered a range of 5 choices from no bedroom to 5 or more 

bedrooms. 

BOARDED-UP STATUS 

Data on boarded-up status were obtained from questionnaire item C2 for all vacant housing units. Boarded-up 

units had windows and doors covered by wood, metal, or similar materials to protect the interior and to prevent 

entry into the building. A single-unit structure, a unit in a multi-unit structure, or an entire multi-unit 

structure may be boarded-up in this way. For certain census products, boarded-up units were shown only for 

units in the Other vacant category. 

Comparability - Data on boarded-up status were collected for the first time in 1980 and was shown only for 

year-round vacant housing units. 

BUSINESS ON PROPERTY 

Data on business on property were obtained from questionnaire item H6, which was asked for all occupied and 

vacant one-family houses and mobile homes. This question was used to exclude owner-occupied one-family houses 

with business or medical offices on the property from certain statistics on financial characteristics. 

A business had to be easily recognizable from the outside. It will usually have a separate outside entrance and 

have the appearance of a business, such as grocery store, restaurant, or shop. It may either be attached to the 

house or mobile home or be located elsewhere on the property. Those housing units in which a room was used for 

business or professional purposes and have no recognizable alterations to the outside were not considered as 

having a business. Medical offices were considered businesses for tabulation purposes. 

The 2005 census tabulations presented data on business on property for owner-occupied and renter-occupied onefamily 

houses only. 

Comparability - Data on business on property have been collected for Palau since the 1940 census. 

CELL PHONE IN HOUSING UNIT 

Data on cell phones were obtained from questionnaire item H19b, which was asked for occupied housing units.

Units where the respondent uses a cell phone not located in the respondent’s living quarters were classified as 

having no cell phone. 

Comparability - The cell phone census question was asked for the first time in 2005, so is not comparable to 

other censuses.. 

COMPUTER (PRSONAL) IN HOUSING UNIT 

Data on personal computers were obtained from questionnaire item H19c, which was asked for occupied housing 

units. A personal computer had to be inside the house or apartment for the unit to be classified as having a 

personal computer. Units where the respondent uses a computer located outside the respondent’s living quarters 

were classified as having no computer. 

Comparability - The personal computer census question was asked for the first time in 2005, so is not 

comparable to other censuses.. 

COOKING FACILITIES 

Data on cooking facilities were obtained from questionnaire item 27, which was asked for all occupied and vacant 

housing units. Main cooking facilities were the ones that were used most often for preparation of meals. They 

can be located inside or outside the building. No cooking facilities included those units with no cooking 

facilities available either inside or outside the building. The census tabulations presented data on cooking 

facilities for occupied housing units only. 

Comparability - Data on cooking facilities were collected for the first time in 1970. In 1980, data for 

cooking facilities were shown for year-round and occupied housing units. In 1990 and subsequent censuses, data 

were shown for all housing units. Also, the question on the type of cooking facilities was asked, to include 

the additional categories, Microwave oven and non-portable burners and microwave oven only. In 2000, only the 

question on microwave oven was asked. 

GROSS RENT 

Data on gross rent (also referred to as cash rent) were obtained from questionnaire item H5, which was asked for 

all occupied housing units that were rented for cash rent and all vacant housing units that were for rent at the 

time of enumeration. 

Housing units that were renter-occupied without payment of cash rent were shown separately as No cash rent in 

census data products. The unit may be owned by friends or relatives who lived elsewhere and who allowed 

occupancy without charge. Rent-free houses or apartments may be provided to compensate caretakers, ministers, 

tenant farmers, sharecroppers, or others. 

Gross rent, or cash rent, was the monthly rent agreed to or contracted for, regardless of any furnishings, 

utilities, fees, meals, or services that may be included. For vacant units, it was the monthly rent asked for 

the rental unit at the time of enumeration. 

If the contract rent included rent for a business unit or for living quarters occupied by another household, the 

respondent was instructed to report that part of the rent estimated to be or his/her unit only. Respondents 

were asked to report rent only for the housing unit enumerated and to exclude any rent paid for additional units 

or for business premises. 

If a renter paid rent to the owner of a condominium or cooperative, and the condominium fee or cooperative 

carrying charge was also paid by the renter to the owner, the respondent was instructed to include the fee or 

carrying charge. 

If a renter received payments from lodgers or roomers who were listed as members of the household, the 

respondent was instructed to report the rent without deduction for any payments received from the lodgers or 

roomers. The respondent was instructed to report the rent agreed to or contracted for even if paid by someone 

else such as friends or relatives living elsewhere, or a church or welfare agency. 

In The 2005 census tabulations, data on gross rent was presented for all renter-occupied housing units with 

payment of cash rent. 

Median Gross Rent - The median divides the rent distribution into two equal parts. In computing median gross 

rent, units reported as No cash rent were excluded. Median rent calculations were rounded to the nearest whole 

dollar. (For more information on medians, see the discussion under Derived Measures.) 

Aggregate Gross Rent and Mean Gross Rent - To calculate aggregate gross rent, the actual values of cash rent 

reported for renter-occupied housing units were aggregated. Mean gross rent was obtained by dividing aggregate 

gross rent by the total number of renter-occupied housing units paying cash rent, and the value rounded to the 

nearest whole dollar. 

Comparability - Data on this item have been collected in all recent censuses.

COOKING FUEL 

Data on cooking fuel were obtained from questionnaire item H28, which was asked for all occupied and vacant 

housing units. The data shown for the type of fuel used most for cooking were for occupied housing units only. 

Bottled and Tank Gas - included liquid propane gas stored in bottles or tanks which were refilled or exchanged 

when empty. 

Fuel Oil, Kerosene, etc. - included fuel oil, kerosene, gasoline, alcohol and other combustible liquids. 

Wood or Charcoal - included purchased wood or charcoal , wood cut by household members on their property or 

elsewhere, driftwood, sawmill or construction scraps, or the like. 

Other Fuel - included all other fuels not specified elsewhere. 

No Fuel Used - included units that did not use any fuel or that did not have kitchen facilities. 

Comparability - Data on cooking fuel were collected for the first time in 1980. 


Data for duration of vacancy (also referred to as months vacant) were obtained from questionnaire item D, which 

was completed by census enumerators. The statistics on duration of vacancy referred to the length of time (in 

months and years) between the date the last occupants moved from the unit and the time of enumeration. The 

data, therefore, do not provide a direct measure of the total length of time units remained vacant. 

For newly constructed units which had never been occupied, the duration of vacancy was counted from the date 

construction was completed. For recently converted or merged units, the time was reported from the date 

conversion or merger was completed. Units occupied by an entire household with a usual home elsewhere were 

assigned to the less than 1 month interval. 

Comparability - Similar data were collected in 1980. These data were shown in 1980 only for year-round housing 

units. In the 1990 census, these data were shown for vacant-for-sale and vacant-for-rent housing units. The 

2000 and 2005 census showed data only for vacant-for-rent-housing units. 

GROSS RENT AS A PERCENTAGE OF HOUSEHOLD INCOME IN 2004 

Gross rent as a percentage of household income in 2004 was a computed ratio of monthly gross rent to monthly 

household income (total household income in 2004 divided by 12). The ratio was computed separately for each 

unit and was rounded to the nearest whole percentage. Units for which no cash rent was paid and units occupied 

by households that reported no income or a net loss in 2004 comprised the category Not computed. 


Data on kitchen facilities were obtained from questionnaire items H27 and H29 through H31, which were asked for 

both occupied and vacant housing units. The 2000 and 2005 census questions were similar with the 1995 and 1990 

censuses in that the kitchen facilities or stove and refrigerator were asked in two separate questions. A unit 

had complete kitchen facilities when it had all of the following: 

(a) an installed sink with piped water, 

(b) a range, cook top and convection or microwave oven, or cook stove, and 

(c) a refrigerator. All kitchen facilities had to be located in the structure. They need not be in the same 

room. Portable cooking equipment was not considered a range or cook stove. An ice box was not considered to be 

a refrigerator. 

Comparability - The 2000 and 2005 censuses followed censuses before 1990 which collected data on individual 

components, such as kitchen sink and type of refrigeration equipment. The 2000 tabulations showed data for 

occupied housing units only. 

MORTGAGE STATUS 

Data on mortgage status were obtained from questionnaire item H3, which was asked for owner-occupied housing 

units, condominiums, boats, and mobile homes. Mortgage referred to all forms of debt where the property was 

pledged as security for repayment of the debt. It included such debt instruments as deeds of trust, trust 

deeds, contracts to purchase, land contracts, junior mortgages and home equity loans. 

A mortgage was considered a first mortgage if it had prior claim over any other mortgage or if it was the only 

mortgage on property. All other mortgages were considered junior mortgages. A home equity loan was generally a 

junior mortgage. If no first mortgage was reported, but a junior mortgage or home equity loan was reported, 

then the loan was considered a first mortgage. In most census tabulations, data for Selected Monthly Owner 

Costs and Selected Monthly Owner Costs as Percentage of Household Income in 2004 were usually shown separately 

for units with a mortgage and for units not mortgaged. The category not mortgaged comprised of housing units

owned free and clear of debt. 

Comparability - The item was asked for the first time in 1980. In 1980, the mortgage status questions were 

asked at owner-occupied one-family houses on less than 3 acres. Excluded were mobile homes, boats, 

condominiums, houses with a business or medical office, houses on 3 or more acres, and housing units in multiunit 

buildings. In 2005, 2000, 1995, and 1990, the questions were asked for all owner-occupied housing units. 

They were also asked at mobile homes, boats and houses with a business or medical office. 

OTHER HOUSING EQUIPMENT 

Data on battery-operated radio and television set were obtained from questionnaire items H20 and H21, 

respectively, which were asked for all occupied housing units. Statistics on radio and television sets were in 

terms of the number of housing units having these particular items. 

Included as battery-operated radios were car radios, transistors, and other battery-operated sets in working 

order or needing only a new battery for operation. Included as television sets were floor, table, built-in or 

portable models, or combinations with radios or record players, whether black and white or color, which were in 

working order or being repaired. 

Comparability - Data on radio and television sets were collected for the first time in 1980. In 1980, data on 

radio sets included all types of radio sets, either electric or battery operated. In 1990, 1995, 2000, and 

2005, however, only battery-operated radios were considered. Since 1980, there had been no change in the 

definition for television sets. 

PERSONS IN UNIT 

This item was based on the count of persons in occupied housing units. All persons occupying the housing unit 

were counted including the householder, occupants, related to the householder, and lodgers, roomers, boarders 

and so forth. 

Data on persons in unit show the number of housing units occupied by the specified number of persons. The 

phrase persons in unit was used for housing tabulations; persons in households for population items. Figures 

for persons in unit determined those for persons in household. 

Median Persons in Unit - In computing median persons in unit, a whole number was used as the mid-point of an 

interval; thus, a unit with 4 persons was treated as an interval ranging from 3.5 to 4.5 persons. Median 

persons was rounded to the nearest hundredth. (For information on medians, see the discussion under Derived 

Measures.) 

Persons in Occupied Housing Units - This was the total population minus those living in quarters. Persons per 

occupied housing unit was computed by dividing the population living in housing units by the number of occupied 

housing units. 

PERSONS PER ROOM 

Persons per room was obtained by dividing the number of persons in each occupied housing unit by the number of 

rooms in the unit. Persons per room was rounded to the nearest hundredth. The figures shown referred, 

therefore, to the number of occupied housing units having the specified ratio of persons per room. 

Mean Persons per Room - This was computed by dividing the number of persons in housing units by the aggregate 

number of rooms, and was intended to provide a measure of use. A higher mean may indicate a greater degree of 

use or overcrowding; a low mean may indicate underuse. (For more information on means, see the discussion under 

Derived Measures.) 


The 2005 census data on plumbing facilities were obtained from question items H14, H16 and H17, which were asked 

for both occupied and vacant housing units. All three questions provided data on the presence of hot and cold 

piped water, bathtub or shower, and flush toilet, respectively. 

The 2005 census questions were comparable to those asked in the 1990, 1995 and 2000 censuses as these were used 

in classifying whether a housing unit had complete plumbing facilities or the lack of it. Complete plumbing 

facilities included hot and cold piped water, a flush toilet, and a bathtub or shower. All three facilities had 

to be located inside the house, apartment or mobile home, but not necessarily in the same room. Housing units 

were classified as lacking complete plumbing facilities when any of the three facilities were not present. 

Comparability - The 2005 census collected data on plumbing facilities in separate parts instead of complete 

plumbing, but after reconfiguring, comparability with the previous censuses was still possible. The 1990 and 

later data on complete plumbing facilities also were not strictly comparable with the 1980 data. In 1980, 

complete plumbing facilities were also not strictly comparable with the 1980 data. In 1980, complete plumbing 

facilities were defined as hot and cold piped water, a bathtub or shower, and a flush toilet in the housing unit 

for the exclusive use of the residents of that unit. In 1990, the Census Bureau dropped the requirement of

exclusive use from the definition of complete plumbing facilities. From 1940 to 1970, separate and more 

detailed questions were asked on piped water, bathing, and toilet facilities. In 1970 and 1980, the data on 

plumbing facilities were shown only for year-round housing units. 

PRESCRIPTION DRUGS 

Data on where prescription drugs were purchased were obtained from questionnaire item H37, which was asked only 

for occupied housing units. 

Comparability - Data on where prescription drugs were purchased was asked for the first time in 2005, so no 

comparable exist in other censuses. 

ROOMS 

Data on rooms were obtained from questionnaire item H12, which was asked for both occupied and vacant housing 

units. The statistics on rooms were in terms of the number of housing units with a specified number of rooms. 

The intent of this question was to count the number of whole rooms used for living purposes. 

For each unit, rooms included living rooms, dining rooms, kitchens, bedrooms, finished recreation rooms, 

enclosed porches suitable for year-round use, and lodger’s rooms. Excluded were strip or pullman kitchens, 

bathrooms, open porches, balconies, halls or foyers, half-rooms, utility rooms, unfinished attics or basements, 

or other unfinished space used for storage. 

A partially divided room was a separate room only if a partition ran from floor to ceiling, but not if the 

partitioned consisted solely of shelves or cabinets. 

Median Rooms - This measure divides the room distribution into two equal parts, one-half of the cases falling 

below the median number of rooms and one-half above the median. In computing median rooms, the whole number was 

used s the midpoint of the interval; thus, the category 3 rooms was treated as an interval ranging from 2.5 to 

3.5 rooms. Median rooms was rounded to the nearest hundredth. (for more information on medians, see the 

discussion under Derived Measures.) 

Aggregate Rooms - 

aggregated. 

To calculate aggregate rooms, the actual number of rooms reported for housing units were 

Comparability - Data on rooms have been collected since 1940. In 1970 and 1980, these data were shown only 

for year-round housing units. In the 1990 and subsequent censuses, these data were shown for all housing units, 

and separately for owner-occupied and renter-occupied housing units. The 2005 census tabulations showed data 

for all housing units and separately for owner-occupied housing units only. 

SELECTED MONTHLY OWNERS COSTS 

Data on Selected Monthly Owner Costs were obtained from questionnaire items H33 through H36 for all occupied 

housing units. Selected monthly owner costs was the sum of payments for utilities (electricity, gas and water) 

and fuels (oil, coal, kerosene, wood, etc.) 

In the 2005 census tabulations, selected monthly owner costs were presented only for specified-owner occupied 

housing units. Data usually were shown separately for units with a mortgage and for units not mortgaged. 

Median Selected Monthly Owner Costs - This measure was rounded to the nearest whole dollar. 

Comparability - The components of selected monthly owner costs were collected for the first time in 1980. The 

2000 and 2005 census questions from which tabulations of selected monthly owner costs for specified owneroccupied 

housing units came differed from the 1990 and 1980 censuses as the costs for payments of mortgages; 

deeds of trust; contracts to purchase or other similar debts; real estate taxes; fire, hazard and insurance on 

property were not collected in the 2000 census. In the 1980, 1990, 1995, and 2000 censuses, costs for 

electricity and gas were collected as average monthly costs. 

SELECTED MONTHLY OWNER COSTS AS A PERCENTAGE OF HOUSEHOLD INCOME IN 2004 

Information on Selected Monthly Owner Costs as a Percentage of Household Income in 2004 was the computed ratio 

of selected monthly owner costs to monthly household income in 2004. The ratio was computed separately for each 

unit and rounded to the nearest whole percentage. The data were tabulated separately for specified owneroccupied 


Separate distributions were often shown for units with a mortgage and for units not mortgaged. Units occupied 

by households reporting no income or a net loss in 2004 were included in the not computed category. (For more 

information, see the discussion under Selected Monthly Owner Costs.) 

Comparability - The components of selected monthly owner costs were collected for the first time in 1980. The 

tabulations of Selected Monthly Owner Costs as a Percentage of Household Income in 2004 for specified owneroccupied 

housing units were not comparable to early censuses due to the respective differences in the components 

of selected monthly owner costs mentioned in the earlier section.


Data on sewage disposal were obtained from questionnaire item H26, which was asked for both occupied and vacant 

housing units. Housing units were either connected to a public sewer, to a septic tank or cesspool, or disposal 

of sewage was by other means. A public sewer may be operated by a government body or by a private organization. 

A housing unit was considered to be connected to a septic tank or cesspool when the unit was provided with an 

underground pit or tank for sewage disposal. The category Other means included housing units which disposed of 

sewage in some other way. 

Comparability - Data on sewage disposal have been collected since 1940. In 1970 and 1980, data were shown only 

for year-round housing units. In the 2000 and census, data were shown for occupied housing units while the 1990 

and 1995 censuses showed data for all housing units. 


Data on source of water were obtained from questionnaire items H23 through H25, which were asked for both 

occupied and vacant housing units. Housing units may have received their water supply from a number of sources. 

A common source supplying water to 5 or more units was classified as a public system only or a public system and 

cistern. Another source of water may be a cistern, tanks or drums only in which rain water was collected. A 

public standpipe was an elevated tank or vertical storage cylinder or street hydrant which was connected to a 

public system from which nearby residents draw water. The category some other source such as an individual well 

or spring included water obtained from creeks, rivers, lakes, etc. 

Comparability - Data on source of water have been collected in every census since 1940. In 1970 and 1980, data 

were shown only for year-round housing units. 

TELEPHONE IN HOUSING UNIT 

Data on telephones were obtained from questionnaire item H19a, which was asked for occupied housing units. A 

telephone had to be inside the house or apartment for the unit to be classified as having a telephone. Units 

where the respondent uses a telephone located inside the building but not in the respondent’s living quarters 

were classified as having no telephone. 

Comparability - The 2000 census question was comparable to that asked in the 1990 census. It was a new item in 

the 1990 census. 

TENURE 

Data for tenure were obtained from questionnaire item H3, which was asked for all occupied housing units. All 

occupied housing units were classified as either owner-occupied or renter-occupied. 

Owner-Occupied - A housing unit was owner-occupied if the owner or co-owner lived in the unit even if it was 

mortgaged or not fully paid for. The owner or co-owner who lived in the unit was usually the person listed 

first in the questionnaire. The unit was Owned by you or someone in this household with a mortgage or loan if it 

was being purchased with a mortgage or some other debt arrangement such as a deed of trust, trust deed, 

contract to purchase, land contract, or purchase agreement. The unit was also considered owned with a mortgage 

if it was built on leased land and a mortgage existed on the unit. 

A housing unit was Owned by you or someone in this household free and clear (without a mortgage) if no mortgage 

or other similar debt was on the house, apartment, or mobile home including units built on leased land if the 

unit was owned outright without a mortgage. Although owner-occupied housing units were divided between 

mortgaged and owned-free and clear on the questionnaire, census tabulations show data only for total owneroccupied 

counts. 

Renter-occupied - All occupied housing units which were not owner-occupied, whether they were rented for cash 

rent or occupied without payment of cash rent, were classified as renter-occupied. No cash rent units were 

separately identified in the rent tabulations. Such units were generally provided free by friends or relatives 

or in exchange for services such as a resident manager, caretaker, minister, or tenant farmer. Housing units on 

military bases were also identified in the No cash rent category. 

Rented for cash rent included units in continuing care, sometimes called life care arrangements. These 

arrangements usually involved a contract between one or more individuals and a health services provider 

guaranteeing the individual shelter, usually a house or apartment, and services such as meals or transportation 

to shopping or recreation. 

Comparability - Data on tenure have been collected for Palau since 1930. In 1970, the question on tenure also 

included a category for condominium and coop-erative ownership. In 1980, condominium units and cooperatives 

were dropped from the tenure item, and since 1980, only condominium units were identified in a separate 

question. 

Since 1990 and subsequently, the response categories were expanded to allow the respondent to report whether the 

unit was owned with a mortgage or free and clear (without a mortgage). The distinction between units owned with

a mortgage and units owned free and clear was added in 1990 to improve the count of owner-occupied units. 

Research after the 1980 census indicated some respondents did not consider their units owned if they had a 

mortgage. 

TYPE OF MATERIAL USED FOR 

FOUNDATION 

Data on the Main Type of Material Used for the Foundation of the structure were obtained from questionnaire item 

H11, which was asked for both occupied and vacant housing units. Housing units were classified according to the 

type of material used most in the construction of the foundation of the structure, which were as follows: 

(a) Poured concrete, 

(b) Wood pier or pilings, and 

(c) Other for all other types of construction materials which were not included in any of the specific 

categories or if there was no foundation. 

Comparability - Data on type of material used for foundation were collected for the first time in 1990. In 

2005, 2000, 1995, and 1990, data were shown for all housing units. 

TOILET FACILITIES 

Data on toilet facilities were obtained from questionnaire item H17 , which were asked for both occupied and 

vacant housing units. Answers to the question, Do you have a flush toilet?, provided data on the number of 

housing units with flush toilet 

(a) inside the unit, 

(b) inside the building, 

(c) outside the building; with Outhouse or privy; and Other or none. 

A flush toilet consisted of any toilet connected to piped water and emptied into public sewer, septic tank, or 

cesspool. 

Comparability - Data on toilet facilities were collected for the first time in 1970. In 1980, and subsequently, 

the data were not shown separately but were combined with data on water supply and bathtub or shower to 

determine the presence of complete plumbing facilities. 


Data in type of material used for outside walls of the structure were obtained from questionnaire item 9, which 

was asked for both occupied and vacant housing units. Housing units were classified according to the type of 

material used most in the construction of outside walls of the structure, which were as follows: 

(a) Poured concrete, 

(b) Concrete blocks, 

(c) Metal, 

(d) Wood, and 

(e) Other 

categories. 

for all other types of construction materials which cannot be described by any of the specific 

Comparability - Data on materials for outside walls were collected since 1980 and were shown only for yearround 

housing units. In 1990, the category thatch was dropped from the type of materials used. In 2005, 2000, 

1995 and 1990, data were shown for all housing units. 


Data for type of material used for roof of the structure were obtained from questionnaire item H10, which was 

asked for both occupied and vacant housing units. Housing units were classified according to the type of 

material used most in the construction of the roof of the structure, which were as follows: Poured concrete, 

Metal, Wood, Thatch which included sugar cane leaves, palm or pandanus thatch, palm leaves, straw, etc.. and 

Other for all other types of construction materials which cannot be described by any of the specific categories. 

Comparability - Data on type of materials used for roofs were collected for the first time in 1980 and were 

shown only for year-round housing units. In 2005, 2000, 1995 and 1990, data were shown for all housing units. 

UNITS IN STRUCTURE

Data on units in structure (also referred as type of structure) were obtained from questionnaire item H2, which 

was asked for all housing units. A structure was a separate building that either had open spaces on all sides 

or was separated from other structures by dividing walls that extended from ground to roof. In determining the 

number of units in a structure, all housing units, both occupied and vacant, were counted. Stores and office 

space were excluded. 

Statistics were presented for the number of housing units in structures of specified type and size, and not for 

the number of residential buildings. 

1-Family House, Detached - This was a 1-unit structure detached from any other any other structure; that is, 

with open space on all four sides. Such structures were considered detached even if they had an adjoining shed 

or garage. A one-family house which contained a business was considered detached as long as the building has 

open space on all four sides. Mobile homes or trailers to which one or more permanent rooms had been added or 

built were also included. 

1-Family House, Attached - This was a 1-unit structure which had one or more walls extending from ground to roof 

separating it from adjoining structures. In rowhouses (sometimes called townhouses), duplex houses, or houses 

attached to non-residential structures, each house was a separate, attached structure if the dividing or common 

wall goes from ground to roof. 

2 or More Units - These were units in structures/ buildings containing 2 or more housing units, further 

categorized as units in structures/buildings with 2, 3 or 4, 5 to 9, 10 to 19, and 20 or more units. 

Mobile Home or Trailer - Both occupied and vacant mobile homes to which no permanent rooms had been added were 

counted in this category. Mobile homes or trailers used only for business purposes or for extra sleeping space 

and mobile homes or trailers for sale on a dealer’s lot, or in storage ere not counted in the housing inventory. 

Boat or Houseboat - included in this category were boats and houseboats that were occupied as housing units. 

Other - This category was for any living quarters occupied as a housing unit that did not fit the previous 

categories. Examples that fitted into this category were abandoned cars, tents, campers, and vans. 

Comparability - Data on units in structure/building have been collected for Palau since 1940, on mobile homes 

and trailers since 1950, and on boats since 1980. In 1970 and 1980, these data were shown only for year-round 

housing units. Since 1990, these data were shown for all housing units. The category Tent, van, etc. was 

replaced in 1990 by the category Other. 

USUAL HOME ELSEWHERE 

Data for usual home elsewhere were obtained from questionnaire item L2, which was completed by census 

enumerators. A housing unit temporarily occupied at the time of enumeration entirely by persons with a usual 

residence elsewhere was classified as vacant. The occupants were classified a having a Usual home elsewhere and 

were counted at the address of their usual place of residence. Typical examples were people in a vacation home 

and persons renting living quarters temporarily for work. 

Limitation of the Data - Evidence from previous censuses suggests that in some area enumerators marked units as 

vacant-usual home elsewhere when they should have marked vacant-regular. 

Comparability - Data for usual home elsewhere were tabulated for the first time in the 1980 census. 

UTILITIES 

Data on electric power were obtained from questionnaire item H18, which was asked for all housing units. The 

census tabulations, however, presented data on electric power for occupied housing units only. 

Wally Data on utility costs were obtained from questionnaire items H33 through H36, which were asked for all 

occupied housing units. Questions H33 through H36 asked for the monthly cost of utilities (electricity, gas and 

water) and other fuels (oil, coal, wood, kerosene, etc.) The average monthly costs were included in the 

computation of Selected Monthly Owner Costs and Selected Monthly Owner Costs as a Percentage of Household Income 

in 2004. 

Costs were recorded if paid by or billed to occupants, a welfare agency, relatives, or friends. Costs that were 

paid by landlords, included in the rent payment, or included in condominium or cooperative fees were excluded. 

Limitation of the Data - Research has shown that respondents tended to overstate their expenses for electricity 

and gas when compared to utility company records. 

Comparability - Data on utilities were collected for the first time in the 1980 census. 


Data on vacancy status were obtained from questionnaire item C1, which was completed by census enumerators. 

Vacancy status and other characteristics of vacant units were determined by enumerators obtaining information

from landlords, owners, rental agents, and others. 

market classification as follows: 

Vacant units were subdivided according to their housing 

For rent - These were vacant units offered for rent and vacant units offered either for rent or for sale. 

For sale only - These were vacant units being offered for sale only including units in cooperatives and 

condominium projects if the individual units were offered for sale only. 

Rented or Sold, Not Occupied - If any money rent had been paid or agreed upon but the new renter had not moved 

in as of the date of enumeration, or if the unit had recently been sold but the new owner had not yet moved in, 

the vacant unit was classified as rented or sold, not occupied. 

For Seasonal, Recreational, or Occasional Use - These were vacant units used or intended for use only in certain 

seasons or for weekend or other occasional use throughout the year. Seasonal units included those used for 

summer or winter sports or recreation, such as beach cottages and hunting cabins. Seasonal units also included 

quarters for workers such as herders and loggers. Interval ownership units, sometimes called shared ownership 

or time-sharing condominiums, were also included here. 

Other Vacant - If a vacant unit did not fall into any of the classifications specified above, it was classified 

as other vacant. For example, this category included units held for occupancy by a caretaker or janitor, and 

units held for personal reasons of the owner. 

Homeowner Vacancy Rate - This was the percentage relationship between the number of vacant units for sale and 

the total homeowner inventory. It was computed by dividing the number of vacant units for sale only by the sum 

of the owner-occupied units and the number of vacant units that were for sale only. 

Rental Vacancy Rate - This was the percentage relationship of the number of vacant units for rent to the total 

rental inventory. It was computed by dividing the number of vacant units for rent by the sum of the renteroccupied 

units and the number of vacant units for rent. 

Comparability - Data on vacancy status have been collected since the 1940 census. For 1990, the category 

Seasonal/recreational/occasional use combined vacant units classified in 1980 as seasonal and held for 

occasional use. Also, in 1970 and 1980, housing characteristics were generally presented only for year-round 

housing units. In the 2005, 2000, 1995 and 1990 censuses, housing characteristics were shown for all vacant 


VALUE 

Data on Value (also referred to as price asked for vacant units) were obtained from questionnaire item H4, 

which was asked for housing units that were owned, being bought, or vacant for sale at the time of enumeration. 

Value was the respondent’s estimate of how much the property (house and lot, mobile home and lot or condominium 

unit) would sell for if it were for sale. If the house or mobile home was owned or being bought, but not the 

land, the respondent was asked to estimate the combined value of the house or mobile home and the land. For 

vacant units, value was the price asked for the property. 

Value was tabulated for specified owner-occupied housing units only. Specified owner-occupied housing units 

included only one-family houses without a business or medical office on the property. The data for specified 

units excluded mobile homes, houses with a business or medical office, and housing units in mullet-unit 

buildings. 

. 

Median Value - The median divides the value distribution into two equal parts. This measure was rounded to the 

nearest hundred dollars. (for more information on medians, see the discussion under Derived Measures.) 

Aggregate Value and Mean Value - To calculate aggregate value, the actual values of housing units owned, being 

bought or vacant-for-sale were aggregated. Mean value was obtained by dividing the aggregate value by the total 

number of housing units owned, being bought or vacant for sale and was rounded to the nearest hundred dollars. 

Comparability - In 1980, value was asked only at owner-occupied or vacant-for sale one-family houses on less 

than 3 acres with no business or medical office on the property and at all owner-occupied or vacant-for-sale 

condominium housing units. Mobile homes were excluded. 

In 1990 and in subsequent censuses, the question was asked for all owner-occupied or vacant-for-sale-only 

housing units with no exclusions. Value data were presented for specified owner-occupied housing units only. 


Data on vehicles available were obtained from questionnaire item H32, which was asked for occupied housing 

units. These data showed the number of households with a specified number of passenger cars, vans, and pick-up 

or panel trucks of one-ton capacity or less kept a home and available for the use of household members. 

Vehicles rented or leased for one month or more, company vehicles, and police and government vehicles were 

included if kept at home and used for non-business purposes. Dismantled or immobile vehicles were excluded. 

Vehicles kept at home but used only for business purposes were also excluded. 

Vehicles per Household - This was computed by dividing aggregate number of vehicles available by the number of

occupied housing units. 

Comparability - Data on automobiles available were collected for the first time in the 1980 census. 


Data on Year Householder Moved into Unit were obtained from questionnaire item H7, which was asked for occupied 

housing units. These data referred to the year of the latest move by the householder. If a householder moved 

back into a housing unit he/she previously occupied, the year of the latest move was reported. If the 

householder moved from one apartment to another within the same building, the year the householder moved into 

the present apartment was reported. The intent was to establish the year the present occupancy by the 

householder began. The year that the householder moved in was not necessarily the same year other members of 

the household moved, although in the great majority of cases an entire household moved at the same time. 

Comparability - In 1960 and 1970, this question was asked of every person and included in population reports. 

This item in housing tabulations referred to the year the householder moved in. In 2000 and 2005, the question 

was asked only of the householder, as was done in 1980 and 1990. 


Data on Year Structure Built were obtained from questionnaire item H8, which was asked for both occupied and 

vacant housing units. Data on year structure built referred to when the building was first constructed, not 

when it was remodeled, added to, or converted. For housing units under construction that met the housing unit 

definition - that was, all exterior windows, doors and final usable floors were in place, the category 2004 to 

2000 was used. For a houseboat or a mobile home or trailer, the manufacturer’s model year was assumed to be the 

year built. The figures shown in census tabulations related to the number of units built during the specified 

periods that were still in existence at the time of enumeration. 

Limitation of the Data - Data on Year Structure Built were more susceptible to errors of response and nonreporting 

than data on many other items because respondents relied on their memory or on estimates by persons 

who had lived in the neighborhood for along time. Available evidence indicates under-reporting occurred in the 

older-year structure-built categories, especially Built in 1939 or earlier. The introduction of Not reported 

category may have resulted in relatively higher allocation rates. Data users should refer to the discussion in 

Appendix C, Accuracy of Data, and to the allocation tables. 

Comparability - Data on Year Structure Built were collected for the first time in the 1940 census. Since then, 

the response categories have been modified to accommodate the 10-year period between each census. In 2000 and 

2005, the category Not reported was added , the effect was to minimize the response error mentioned in the 

paragraph above on limitation of the data. 

DERIVED MEASURES 

Census data products included various derived measures, such as medians, means, and percentages, as well as 

certain rates and ratios. Derived measures that round to less than 0.1 were not shown but indicated as zero. 

In printed reports, zero was indicated by a dash (-). 

Interpolation - Interpolation frequently was used in calculating medians based on interval data and in 

approximating standard errors from tables. Linear interpolation was used to estimate values of a function 

between two known values. Pareto interpolation was an alternative to linear interpolation. It was used by the 

Census Bureau in calculating median income within intervals wider than $2,500. In Pareto interpolation, the 

median was derived by interpolating between the logarithms of the upper and lower income limits of the median 

category. 

Mean - This measure represents an arithmetic average of a set of values. It was derived by dividing the sum of 

a group of numerical items (or aggregate) by the total number of items. Aggregates were used in computing mean 

values. For example, mean family income was obtained by dividing the aggregate of all income reported by 

persons in families by the total number of families. 

Median - This measure represents the middle value in a distribution. The median divides the total frequency 

into two equal parts: one-half of the cases fall below the median and the other half of the cases exceed the 

median. The median was computed on the basis of the distribution as tabulated, which was sometimes more 

detailed than the distribution shown in specific census publications and other data products. 

In reports, if the median falls within the upper interval of the tabulation distribution, the median was shown 

as the initial value of the interval followed by a plus sign (+); if within the lower interval, the median was 

shown as the upper value of the category followed by a minus sign (-). 

Percentages, Rates and Ratios - These measures were frequently presented in census tabulations to compare two 

numbers or two sets of measurements. These comparisons were made in two ways: 

(a) sub-traction, which provided an absolute measure of the difference between two items, and 

(b) the quotient of two numbers, which provided a relative measure of difference.

APPENDIX C 

ACCURACY OF THE DATA 

CONFIDENTIALITY OF THE DATA 

Every effort has been made to protect the confidentiality of the Republic of Palau Census data, and to make sure 

that published data do not disclose information about specific individuals, households, or housing units. The 

procedures are meant to increase the data user’s ability to obtain census data, particularly for small areas and 

subpopulation groups, while maintaining confidentiality of individual responses. 

EDITING OF UNACCEPTABLE DATA 

The objective of the processing operation was to produce a set of data that describes the population as clearly 

and accurately as possible. To meet this objective, questionnaires were reviewed and edited during field data 

collection operations by crew leaders for consistency, completeness, and acceptability. Questionnaires were 

also reviewed by census clerks in the census office for omissions, certain inconsistencies, and population 

coverage. For example, write-in entries such as “Don’t know” or “NA” were considered unacceptable in certain 

quantities and/or in conjunction with other data omissions. 

As a result of this review operation, a telephone or personal visit follow-up was made to obtain missing 

information. Potential coverage errors were included in the follow-up, as well as questionnaires with omissions 

or inconsistencies beyond the completeness and quality tolerances specified in the review procedures. 

Subsequent to field operations, remaining incomplete or inconsistent information on the questionnaires was 

assigned using imputation procedures during the final automated edit of the collected data. Allocations, or 

computer assignments of acceptable data in place of unacceptable entries or blanks, were needed most often when 

an entry for a given item was lacking or when the information reported for a person or housing unit on that item 

was inconsistent with other information for that same person or housing unit. As in previous censuses, the 

general procedure for changing unacceptable entries was to assign an entry for a person or housing unit that was 

consistent with entries for persons or housing units with similar characteristics. The assignment of acceptable 

data in lace of blanks or unacceptable entries enhanced the usefulness of the data. 

Another way to make corrections during the computer editing process is substitution. Substitution is the 

assignment of a full set of characteristics for a person or housing unit. Because of the detailed field 

operations, substitution was not needed for the 2005 Census. 

SOURCES OF ERRORS 

In any large-scale statistical operation, such as the 2005 Census of the Republic of Palau, human- and machinerelated 

errors do occur. These errors are commonly referred to as nonsampling errors. Such errors include not 

enumerating every household or every person in the population, not obtaining all required information form the 

respondents, obtaining incorrect or inconsistent information, and recording information incorrectly. In 

addition, errors can occur during the field review of the enumerators’ work, during clerical handling of the 

census questionnaires, or during the electronic processing of the questionnaires. 

To reduce various types of nonsampling errors, a number of techniques were implemented during the planning, data 

collection, and data processing activities. Quality assurance methods were used throughout the data collection 

and processing phases of the census to improve the quality of the data.

APPENDIX D 

Collection and Processing Procedures 

ENUMERATION AND RESIDENCE RULES 

In accordance with U.S. Census Bureau and Government of Palau practice, each person was to be enumerated as an 

inhabitant of his or her “usual residence” in the 2005 census. Usual residence is the place where the person 

lives and sleeps most of the time or considers to be his or her usual residence. This place is not necessarily 

the same as the person’s legal residence or voting residence. In the vast majority of cases, however, the use 

of these different bases of classification would produce substantially the same statistics, although there might 

be appreciable differences in some areas. 

The implementation of this practice has resulted in the establishment of rules for certain categories of persons 

whose usual residence is not immediately apparent. Furthermore, this practice means that persons were not 

always counted as residents of the place where they happened to be staying on Census Day (April 15, 2000). 

Enumeration Rules 

Each person whose usual residence was in the Republic of Palau was to be included in the census, without regard 

to the person’s legal status or citizenship. As in previous censuses, persons in Palau specifically excluded 

from the census were foreign travelers who had not established a residence. 

Persons with a usual residence outside Palau were not enumerated in the 2005 Census. On the other hand, 

residents of Palau temporarily abroad were to be enumerated at their usual residence in Palau. Persons living 

outside Palau were enumerated on a special “Emigrants” form, but these data are incomplete. 

Residence Rules 

Each person included in the census was to be counted at his or her usual residence — the place where he or she 

lives and sleeps most of the time or the place where the person considers to be his or her usual home. If a 

person had no usual residence, the person was to be counted where he or she was staying on April 1, 2005. 

Persons temporarily away from their usual residence, whether in Palau or abroad, on a vacation or on a business 

trip, were counted at their usual residence. Persons who occupied more than one residence during the year were 

counted at the one they considered to be their usual residence. Persons who moved on or near Census Day were 

counted at the place they considered to be their usual residence. 

Persons Away at School — College students were counted as residents of the place in which they were living while 

attending college. Children in boarding schools below the college level were counted at their parental home. 

Persons in Institutions — Persons under formally authorized, supervised care or custody, such as in jails; 

detention centers; juvenile institutions; nursing, convalescent, and rest homes for the aged and dependent; or 

homes, schools, hospitals, or wards for the physically handicapped, mentally retarded, or mentally ill, were 

counted at these places. 

DATA COLLECTION PROCEDURES 

The 2005 census of Palau was conducted using modified list/enumerate procedures (formerly called conventional or 

door-to-door enumeration). 

Enumeration of Housing Units 

Beginning in early April 2005, enumerators visited and listed every housing unit and conducted a personal 

interview, asking the questions as worded on the census questionnaire and recording the answers. A single 

questionnaire contained all questions asked of every persons and every housing unit. The questionnaire 

contained both basic and detailed population and housing questions. Only housing information was obtained from 

vacant housing units. 

Field Follow up 

Follow up enumerators visited each address for which questionnaires were missing to obtain a completed 

questionnaire. If a follow up enumerator determined that the unit was vacant on Census Day, regardless of the 

present occupancy status, the enumerator obtained only housing information about the unit from a knowledgeable 

source and filled out a questionnaire for that unit, completing specified items in the questionnaire for vacant 

units. 

Coverage and Edit-Failure Follow up— The enumerators conducted an initial check of the questionnaires for 

completeness and consistency. The census office staff performed additional coverage and edit checks. Those 

households for which questionnaires did not meet specific quality standards because of incomplete information 

were contacted by personal visit to obtain the missing information. 

Special Enumeration Procedures

Special procedures and questionnaires were used for the enumeration of persons in group quarters, such as 

college dormitories, prisons, and barracks. The questionnaires (Individual Census Records) included the same 

population items as the regular questionnaires but did not include any housing questions. 

PROCESSING PROCEDURES 

The 2005 Census of Palau questionnaire was designed as a keyable document. The information supplied tot he 

enumerator by the respondent was recorded by marking the answers in the appropriate answer boxes and, in some 

cases, entering a write-in response. 

Enumerators returned all completed questionnaires to the Census office where the questionnaires were checked in 

and edited for completeness and consistency of the responses. Once all data collection activities were 

complete, the questionnaires were coded in the Census office. All write-in entries (ethnicity, relationship, 

language, migration, place of birth, parental birthplace, place of work, industry and occupation) were coded. 

After all coding operations were complete, the data entry clerks keyed all the responses to the questions on all 

the questionnaires using the CSPro entry package, including the codes for the write-in entries. 

The disks containing the keyed data were then processed on microcomputers using the Consistency and Correction 

(CONCOR) package for editing the data and the Census Tabulation System (CENTS) for tabulating the data.
