Codes and Frequencies
Description
DUCKYN is a dichotomous variable indicating whether the household owns any ducks. The related variable DUCKNUM reports the number of ducks owned by the household.
The information in DUCKYN 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.
