Description

Definition

HOMERENTNAME reports the answer, from the respondent for the household survey, to the question, "Is the (rental) document for this dwelling in your name or in the name of another person?" The question was asked in the case of housing not 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 HOMERENTNAME 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.
