Following is a response from DHS Research & Data Analysis Director, Tom Pullum:

To get the number of households in the survey you should use either the HR or PR files. What I said before will give you the number of households in the IR file, i.e. households in which there were eligible and interviewed women. Many households do not have any women who were eligible (hv117=1) and interviewed. That accounts for the difference.
