I want to calculate a recent rate of population growth within a small rural region of Kenya. If the GIS locations of respondents line up such that the same region was surveyed during two different waves of data collection, is it possible for me to use the population weights to estimate the number of individuals in the region during each survey wave? And, with this information, would it be valid for me to then calculate the regional rate of population growth?

Thanks very much for any advice you have... I'm a DHS novice and look forward to growing my skills with these datasets.
