Description

Definition
DWELLROOFHOLE indicates whether the dwelling has visible hole(s) in the roof, according to the interviewer's observations.

The information in DWELLROOFHOLE 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 (with visitors coded "2") when women, children, or births are the unit of analysis, and using the HHRESIDENT variable when household members are the unit of analysis.
