Cartography and statistical information from the 1995 Population and Housing Census and diagrams and lists of dwellings.
Three types of continuous updating: (a) updating due to sample rotation: each quarter, one fifth only of dwellings in the sample are updated, within each secondary sampling unit (SSU), for each metropolitan area; at the end of the first full rotation, the sampling fraction is modified, on the basis of the updating of the number of dwellings in the SSUs, in order to avoid any increase in the sample size; (b) updating due to frame obsolescence: when one area of the list is saturated, it is replaced by another of the same primary sampling unit (PSU); when the PSU is saturated, it is replaced by another of the same locality and stratum; new increases in the periphery of cities are included; (c) cartography updating: when blocks of streets in the same basic geostatistical area (AGEB) or in different AGEBs are merged, when there are changes in the limits of an AGEB, when new blocks are created or blocks are subdivided or when streets are built or street names change.
One fifth of dwellings are replaced each quarter and all updates of the area on the list are included in order to keep the sample up to date.

1972 National Household Survey.
In 1972, the part on employment corresponded to one module. In 1973, the Continuous Survey on Labour (ECMO) was established. It was changed in 1974 to the Continuous Survey on Occupations (ECSO), this name being retained until 1983. The modifications and/or revisions to the survey have not given rise to any significant interruptions in the time series.
