Code 1 or 2 will be given depending on if any member of the household has taken up residence in another state or gone abroad during the last 5 years. In case no member has left the household code 3 will be given. It is important to note that only those persons who were members of the household at the time and their departure and are presently alive and staying in another state or abroad are to be considered.
