Thank you for your response.

I was also concerned that the sample is designed to be representative at the region level, not at the level of smaller units.
Due to this reason, (1) the sub-national boundary level is the primary focus of this analysis. The purpose of (2) the grid cell level analysis is simply to show the raw outputs only for the households included in survey clusters within each grid cell, acknowledging that the results are no longer representative at any level (neither the sub-national boundary level nor the grid cell level).
In this regard, I was considering doing the second level analysis (grid cell) without using sample weights. Would this sound unreasonable?
Thank you for your time in advance.

Jung
