Following is a response from DHS Research & Data Analysis Director, Tom Pullum:

It would help if you would say what you intended to do. Otherwise, all we can say is what it appears that you did. You constructed a variable cmpov that has 3 categories, which are terciles based on the proportion of women in the cluster who are in the bottom wealth quintile. The categories are correctly labeled. There are many alternative ways in which you could define a similar measure, but this way of doing it appears to be coded correctly in Stata.
