Description

LIVEBYAIRWAY indicates whether the household's dwelling is located in or near an airway or, in some surveys, a bridge.

The information in LIVEBYAIRWAY is taken from the household record and applies to regular household residents, not temporary visitors. Researchers may wish to exclude visitors using the RESIDENT variable (with visitors coded "2") when women, children, or births are the unit of analysis, and using the HHRESIDENT variable when household members are the unit of analysis.

Along with universe differences, LIVEBYAIRWAY differs across surveys in question wording (see below).
