Dear Liz,

Thanks. Unfortunately, the reply does not address my question.

My question isn't about unique identifiers for PSUs.

My question is whether it is possible to find out the sub-state region that a household (or PSU) belongs to. The documentation suggests that the sampling was done to be representative within a sub-state region. The state is available to users but the sub-state region is not. Previous responses on the forum have made clear that users cannot obtain information on the *district*. I am asking if users can obtain information in the sub-state region, which is bigger than a district and smaller than a state. The table I pointed to in my original question describes these regions and how they were used in the sampling design.

If the question is still unclear, please let me know. A yes or no answer would be very useful.

Thanks,
Seema
