Description

Definition
ELECTRCHH (HV206) indicates whether the household has electricity. Samples vary in how that information was collected.

The information in ELECTRCHH 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.
