Description

Definition
LIVENVSAFE reports how safe the dwelling's environment or neighborhood is, according to the household respondent. Responses were on a four-point scale, from "peaceful and secure" to "very insecure and violent."

The information in LIVENVSAFE 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.
