Description

Definition
DWELLWALLHOLE indicates whether the dwelling has fissures or openings in the wall(s), according to the interviewer's observations.

The information in DWELLWALLHOLE 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.
