Following is a response from DHS staff member Tom Pullum:

The usual names for this variable are "wealth index" or "wealth quintiles". The index is based on a wide range of household assets, including such characteristics as type of flooring and access to an improved source of water. The labels for categories 1 to 5 are poorest, poorer, middle, richer, and richest, but there are alternative labels. For much more information, visit the following on the DHS website: https://www.dhsprogram.com/topics/wealth-index/index.cfm .
