Housing Variables
Table 24 lists a couple of derived housing variables provided on the datasets. The associated questions in the Household Questionnaire allow numerous ways in which the respondent could have answered (for example, per month, per fortnight, per week, etc).
Also, as of Release 6, home value has been imputed using the method described later for the imputation of household wealth.
