Thanks very much! I have started putting it to use. I have one question that you might be able to clarify. In the rural index, why would a person be penalized twice for having livestock? The scores indicate you lose a high amount of points for TWO conditions, i.e.

Chickens: None? Yes (0.028) No (-0.114)
Chickens: 1-9? Yes (-0.119) No (0.012)

If a person in my survey has any sort of livestock, they drop a quintile very quickly since they are "penalized" for both questions. This may be intentional, but I just thought it wise to follow up.
