Hello,


I am trying to calculate proportions for access to improved sanitation stratified by urban-rural as well as at the first administrative division level (admin1). Ideally I would like to have separate estimates for urban and rural within each admin1 unit. Do strata usually correspond to admin1 units? Additionally can I use the weights as is to calculate this proportion?

Additionally if I want to obtain estimates at a lower administrative division level (such as districts/admin2) would I have to adjust the sample weights as multiple strata may overlap with a single admin2 unit and are DHS surveys designed such that they are representative at lower administrative division levels as well beyond urban/rural and regional?
