CLUSTER is a 9-digit numeric variable.
Description
CLUSTER indicates the sample cluster number for the household. Clusters are groups of 20-25 households drawn from a census (or similar) enumeration area using random systematic sampling.
CLUSTER is usually equivalent to PSU, the primary sampling unit.
Comparability
The cluster number is not unique across samples; it numbers 1 to N within each of them. For unique cluster IDs within IPUMS MICS, see IMICSCLUSTER.
