The weighted and un-weighted results are the same because all of the observations within a cluster have the same weight.

Also: the DHS is not designed to be representative at the cluster level and estimates at that level are likely to be very noisy and, in some cases, almost totally uninformative due to small sample size (low power, high variance of estimates).
