  "definition": "De facto means \"in fact.\" A de facto residence rule would define survey residents as all people living or staying at the sample address at the time of the interview without considering other factors such as the amount of time they will be staying there. Such a rule would exclude people away from a regular residence even if they were away for only that one day. The ACS is using a de facto residence rule when determining the residents of group quarters facilities eligible to be sampled and interviewed for the survey.",
