Could someone explain how to use the urban/rural wealth index? From the Standard Recode Manual for DHS 7 I understand the hv270a wealth index was created to provide an urban and rural specific wealth index. However, when I use "tab hv270a" in STATA there is no distinction for rural vs urban, yet the distribution across the wealth quintiles is different from the output for the tab command for the standard hv270. Likewise if I tab hv025 (place of residence) and hv270 the output is very different from tab hv025 and hv270a. Is there a manual that assists with interpreting these outputs?

Also, is the Standard Recode Manual for DHS 7 the most recent one? It is from 2018.

Thanks very much!
