Following is a response from Senior DHS Stata Specialist, Tom Pullum:

For this variable, the values 10, 20, and 30 do not actually occur in the data. They occur only in the value label. They are intended to help the user see the overall structure of the categories, in outline form. Many other variable labels have this kind of structure. 96 would be used for places that the interviewer could not fit into any of the other categories. There is no further information on what they are. The number of responses with this code should be small.
