Please see http://www.dhsprogram.com/topics/wealth-index/Index.cfm for information on the calculation of the wealth index.

Also refer to http://www.dhsprogram.com/publications/publication-WP60-Work ing-Papers.cfm for more information on the calculation of the wealth index with separate scores calculated for urban and rural areas, and then combined into one national score.

Note that the algorithm for the wealth index has changed over time, and thus may vary from survey to survey.

For the code used for individual surveys, please see the Wealth Index Construction page at http://www.dhsprogram.com/topics/wealth-index/Wealth-Index-C onstruction.cfm.
