Description
TOILETFLUSHTO reports to where the household's toilet flushes or drains.
The information in TOILETFLUSHTO 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
Along with universe differences, TOILETFLUSHTO varies across surveys in the number of response categories. To maximize comparability, IPUMS-DHS uses composite coding with TOILETFLUSHTO. Similar responses share a common first digit, while additional detail is preserved in the second digit. For example, responses relating to drainage to a canal or ground water share a first digit of "3," while subcategories are distinguished in the second digit (e.g., "Piped connected to ground water" coded "32").
Comparability - Standard DHS
TOILETFLUSHTO is a country-specific variable not included in the standard DHS household questionnaire.
Comparability — Jordan [top]
The 2002 Jordan survey asked, "Is your house connected with public sewage?"
