Description

OWNCOMBLD indicates whether any member of the household owns a commercial or industrial building, such as a shop or factory (excluding any enterprises carried on in the dwelling unit).

The information in OWNCOMBLD is taken from the household record, linked to the record of the woman respondent. This information applies to household residents, not temporary visitors, so researchers may wish to exclude visitors using the RESIDENT variable (with visitors coded "2").

Comparability

Apart from universe differences and slight differences in question wording, OWNCOMBLD is comparable across samples.
