Hello,

All you need to do in this case is add the option singleunit(centered) as follows:

svyset [pw=wgt], psu (v021) strata (v023) singleunit(centered)

For couples data, please use the men's weight (mv005). You should divide this weight by 1000000.

I am uncertain about your question about the desired sex ratio at the community level. Perhaps you can take the average ratio in each cluster? You can get this with the following code assuming your sex ratio variable is idealratio. Be sure to recode non-numeric responses as missing before using variables related to ideal number of children/boys/girls.

bysort v001: egen idealratioclus=mean(idealratio)

Thank you.

Best,
