How would you know if a household is rental, boarder, or homeowner?

I must point out that although your project is legal in the U.S.,
these surveys, which I seem to be bombarded with at home, are a
nuisance. Some households have ill people and such phone calls
represent an unnecessary disturbance and hardship on such people. It
certainly was to my family. I had to rip out my mother's phone line --
and cut off my telephone contact with her -- as a result of such calls.

Consequently I refuse to answer your question. For other viewers who
choose to answer, I respectfully ask them to first thing about the
nuisance aspect such "survey" phone calls.
