Definition
HORSEMULEYN indicates whether the household owned any horses or mules. Some samples also included other animals in this variable; see Comparability.
The information in HORSEMULEYN 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 when women, children, or births are the unit of analysis, and using the HHRESIDENT variable when household members are the unit of analysis.
