Description

Definition
ELCONNECT indicates whether the dwelling has electrical connections or power from an electrical grid.

RESIDENT when women, children, or births are the unit of analysis;
HHRESIDENT when household members are the unit of analysis;
RESIDENTMN when men are the unit of analysis.
