Hello -

I wanted to update this question with some new information -- but not a complete answer. I was recently in contact with the women who runs the DHS Program in Indonesia and she informed me that census blocks should not be classified as both urban and rural. Others have noted that villages should be either urban or rural as well.

I just wanted to give this post a bump so it comes to the attention of DHS that there may be an issue with coding of urban and rural in the 2012 DHS.

All the best,
Amy
