How many cars, vans, and trucks of one ton capacity or less are kept for use by members of this
household?
¿Cuántos carros, vanes, o camiones de una tonelada o menos de capacidad mantienen en el
hogar para uso de los miembros de este hogar?
The respondents were able to easily distinguish between cars, vans and busses. Some of them
interpreted the word camiones as cargo trucks or public busses. Many respondents thought it
was unnecessary to include the weight reference, since they could not image exactly how much
one ton is or how much their vehicles weigh. One respondent said it was obvious that a vehicle
weighs a lot: “Se supone que el carro pesa bastante.”
Quantitative summary:
NOTE: % who thought <camion> referred to public bus or 18-wheeler:
33%
% who thought weight reference was unnecessary:
50%
Recommended change:
¿Cuántos carros, vanes, o camiones tienen los miembros de este hogar?
