All adult respondents are asked "How long have you been living continuously in (NAME OF THE CURRENT PLACE OF RESIDENCE)?" How is the name generated and in how much detail?

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.
