Description
RABBITNUM reports the number of rabbits owned by the household. The complementary variable RABBITYN indicates whether the household owns any rabbits.
The information in RABBITNUM 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 when women, children, or births are the unit of analysis, and using the HHRESIDENT variable when household members are the unit of analysis.
