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

The logic behind the continuous wealth index and the wealth quintiles is described in the Guide to DHS Statistics (https://www.dhsprogram.com/Data/Guide-to-DHS-Statistics/index.cfm).

For specific surveys and Stata code, we have links on the website (https:// www.dhsprogram.com/topics/wealth-index/Wealth-Index-Construc tion.cfm).
