I am looking at the type of cooking fuel variable in the Bangladesh 2004 (Individual) data set. It looks like a number of responses are from "not dejure resident." Would you recommend treating these as missing?

Here is a response from DHS Specialist, Kia Reinis:

Because this variable is collected at the household level and assigned to individuals in the individual data file we don't have the information for people who don't usually live in the household (the non de jure residents). Thus one would have to treat them as missing if one were including the non de jure residents in their analysis.
