Description

Definition
DWELLREPAIR reports the overall state of the dwelling and whether major repairs are needed.

The information in DWELLREPAIR is taken from the household record, linked to the record of the woman respondent. This information applies to household residents, not temporary visitors, so researchers may wish to exclude visitors using the RESIDENT variable (with visitors coded "2").
