Following is a response from Senior Sampling Specialist, Ruilin Ren:

The DHS surveys do not distinguish the slum areas from the other residential areas. Slum areas are not considered as "collective" residence, unlike hotels, hospitals, prisons and military camps, which are excluded from DHS surveys.

So the slum areas will be automatically included in DHS if they exist. However, we do not provide an identifier in the DHS data file for slum areas, except in cases where it was needed to produce some tables on people living in slum areas.

We have only a few surveys which provided tables for people living in slum areas.
