For instance, for 2012, I am comparing the dataset PEHR6IFL.DTA from the DHS website with the file rech23 (Household characteristics) from the statistical agency website.

The values for the variable HV271 (Wealth index factor score (5 decimals)) are completely different in both files. In rech23, the values are (from the smallest to the highest): -99000, -98000, ... , 210000, 213000. In PEHR6IFL.DTA the values are (from the smallest to the highest): -192828, -191183, ..., 206151, 206306.

The variable HV270 (Wealth index) is coded in the same way (from 1 to 5) in both files but some individuals don't have the same number in both files.

Thank you!
