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

If you just use "cmpov" in the Stata code you sent, rather than "compov", you will have the proportion of women in the cluster who are in wealth quintile 1. You could treat that as a continuous measure.

As a slight modification, you could replace "if v190==1" with "if v190==1 | v190==2". This would give the proportion of women who are in wealth quintiles 1 and 2, and I think will be in a better range.

If you multiply by 100, you will have a percentage rather than a proportion.
