A response from Dr. Sarah Staveteig,
Quote:

Yes, the percentiles need to be weighted. SVY is not needed to weight percentiles. To produce the household member weight, multiply the number of dejure household members by the household sampling weight divided by 1,000,000. If there are no dejure members, use the number of defacto household members.
