WSCORER is a numeric variable in the data format of "double".

Description

WSCORER reports the wealth index score for households residing in a rural location. The score is based on ownership of durable goods, housing characteristics, and basic services. A principal component analysis is run on a set of indicator variables for each survey, to yield an inferred wealth level for the household. The method was originally devised by Filmer and Pritchett (2001) and extended by Rutstein et al (2014).

Comparability

Different surveys use different indicator variables in the construction of the wealth score. Scores are therefore unique to each survey but are roughly comparable if interpreted as relative measures of household wealth within each country at a point in time.

Alternative variables report rural household wealth scores by quintiles and deciles within each survey sample (WINDEX5R, WINDEX10R).

Scores, quintiles, and deciles are also calculated separately for urban households and all households (WSCOREU, WINDEX5U, WINDEX10U, WSCORE, WINDEX5, WINDEX10). Users can also find more information about the specific definition of urban and rural in the variables URBAN.
