It’s referring to all housing units being accounted for. That’s not too difficult-a house exists or it doesn’t.
The part the census has trouble with is the self-response. Did a grandparent move in? Is there a new baby? Student returned home from college? Did the census worker contact a neighbor or landlord for resident who’s on vacation or in the hospital... so on so on.
That’s where the undercounts happens.
