Name of current place of residence

Particularly what we are trying to figure out is whether the respondent is asked about the current city, say Mumbai, or a particular part/neighborhood of the city. I realized that in the original DHS surveys this question was included to create an index of rural to urban migration, but given the growth of mega-cities I was wondering if it still only asks about the city. We need the information to try to establish migration in and out of the slum areas that are surveyed in NFHS-3.

1. So, if somebody is currently living in a slum and respond that they are born in the neighborhood we can be relatively confident that they have lived in the slum their entire lifewith the potential caveat that the area may have become a slum in-between their birth and the survey date?
2. Is there any information on how large a neighborhood is (sq km, population, etc)?

2. There is no definition of what constitutes a neighborhood.]]>fredarnold2016-11-16T20:29:26-00:00
