Description
Definition
SOIL reports the predominant soil type within a 5 kilometer circular buffer around each DHS cluster location. The soil attributes reported in SOIL are: soil class (e.g., Leptosols) and soil type within that class (e.g., Lithic Leptosols). SOIL is available for every IPUMS-DHS sample with GPS data.
There are 118 different soil types in the world. Please see the User Note on Using IPUMS-DHS Contextual Variables: Soil [URL omitted from DDI.] or the list of soils and the 4-digit codes [URL omitted from DDI.] (e.g., 1703) consisting of the 2-digit soil class code followed by the 2-digit soil type code. The User note also describes the data source and methodology used to calculate this variable. This variable, like the other IPUMS-DHS contextual variables, is based on sources outside The DHS Program, with values around DHS sample cluster points calculated by IPUMS-DHS staff.
