The DHS-7 questionnaire asks if women have "changed your usual place of residence compared with this time last year." How is the "usual place of residence" defined here? Would it be counted as a move if a woman simply moved across the street?

In the interviewer manual, the question is described as asking whether a woman has moved from her current LOCALITY of residence. What is the definition of a locality? I am using the 2015-2016 Myanmar DHS. Is a locality a township, ward, or a village?

Many thanks!
