Description

ROOF (HV215) reports the main material of the roof of the dwelling. Response categories vary widely across surveys but fall into broad groups (i.e., natural materials, rudimentary processed materials, and finished materials). See Comparability.

Comparability

Along with universe differences, the response categories for ROOF (HV215) vary across surveys. To accommodate this variation, IPUMS-DHS uses composite coding, where the first digit broadly distinguishes between natural materials (code 1), rudimentary processed materials (code 2), and finished materials (code 3). The second digit within these broad categories identifies a general subcategory (e.g., metal), and the third digit retains detail present in only some samples (e.g., tin).

The information in ROOF 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.

Comparability - Standard DHS

ROOF (HV215) is included in the Standard DHS household questionnaire beginning in phase 5.
