Household Electricity, Flooring Material, and Sleeping Rooms

 

Percent distribution of households and de jure population by housing characteristics

 

Definition

 

Percent distribution of households and de jure population by housing characteristics.

 

Coverage:

Population base:

a)       Households (HR file)

b)      De jure household population (HR file or PR file)

Time period: Current status at time of survey

 

Numerators:

Number of households and de jure population by housing characteristic:

1)      Electricity (hv206)

2)      Flooring material (hv213)

3)      Rooms used for sleeping (hv216)

 

Denominators:

a)       Number of households

b)      Number of de jure population (hv012 – see Calculation)

 

Variables: HR file, PR file.

hv012

Number of de jure members (if using HR file)

hv102

Usual resident (if using PR file)

hv206

Has electricity

hv213

Main floor material

hv216

Number of rooms used for sleeping

hv005

Household sample weight

 

Calculation

 

Percent distribution of de jure population can be calculated using the HR file and simply weighting the data by the sample weight (hv005/1000000) multiplied by the number of de jure household members (hv012). Alternatively, the PR file can be used, selecting the de jure members (hv102 = 1) and weighting just by the sample weight (hv005/1000000).

 

Numerator divided by denominator, multiplied by 100.

 

Handling of Missing Values

 

Households and population with missing information are included as separate categories.

 

Notes and Considerations

 

Percent distribution adds up to 100 percent.
