Thank you Bridgette and Ruilin for the quick response. Yes, I understand urban/rural classification is not used in the sampling strategy for SPA.

That is very helpful to know that the classification changed between 2017 and 2018. Is there anywhere that describes this change? It's not mentioned in the 2018 reports for DHS or SPA; the 2018 SPA report states that 55% of the population lives in rural zones. I don't see any major change in % population rural in international databases. If there is any further detail available to help clarify the source or content of the change, I would greatly appreciate it. I will try to follow up with ANSD as well.

Many thanks,

Hannah
