Description

Definition
BEDNUM reports the number of beds owned by the household.

The information in BEDNUM 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").
