Quick follow up to this thread... Household variables are accessible from all the units of analysis in IPUMS-DHS. (That's been true for several years.) Simply choose your unit of analysis and use the Topics drop-down menu or the Search function to find the variables that interest you. The + sign by the variable name adds it to your data extract.

The units of analysis current in IPUMS-DHS include women, children, births, and household members--known in DHS parlance as the IR, KR, BR, and PR files.
