Description

Definition
HOMEOWNAME reports the answer, from the respondent for the household survey, to the question, "Is this dwelling house in your name or in the name of another person?" for housing occupied via ownership or a long-term lease. Responses are reported in terms of family relationships (e.g., "head of household" versus "spouse").

The information in HOMEOWNAME 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.
