Just a note that the IPUMS-DHS variable on type of toilet facility also uses the household variable HV205 to create the integrated variable TOILETTYPE/HV205. We link the household file to the files for women, children, and births so that we can use household-level variables on the household (such as HV205 for type of toilet facility). There will therefore be no value for "non resident" for HV2015 in IPUMS-DHS unless there is no household file available for that dataset and the information has to be taken from the women's individual recode file.

The variable on toilet type, which has country-specific codes in the original DHS files, is given consistent codes and labels in IPUMS-DHS.
