Codes and Frequencies
Description
EVICTEDFEAR indicates whether the household respondent was sure of not being evicted from their dwelling--i.e., felt secure occupying their home.
The information in EVICTEDFEAR 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.

Comparability
Apart from universe differences and some differences in question wording, EVICTEDFEAR is largely comparable across samples.
Comparability - Standard DHS
EVICTEDFEAR is a country-specific variable not included in the standard DHS household questionnaire.
Comparability — Egypt [top]
The 2003 Egyptian survey uses different wording, asking. "Is there a possibility that you could be evicted from this dwelling?" A "no" answer to this question is treated as a "yes" answer to EVICTEDFEAR.
