Following is a response from DHS Research & Data Analysis Director, Tom Pullum:

All estimates should include the use of weights. Otherwise the estimates will be biased toward the strata that have been over-sampled and away from the strata that have been under-sampled. (Small strata are over-sampled and large strata are under-sampled to make the subsamples within strata more equal in size.) Weighted estimates do differ from unweighted estimates, but the weighted estimates are preferable.
