Population Point and Sampling Data

PP brings together geographical information for each population point. The data set contains the following variables for each of the 168 population points: PPID, RAION, SELO, ZONE, BAKU, GEO, SAMPLE, and W.

RAION contains the code for the raion. SELO indicates if the population point is a town, village of the town type, village or non-town IDP. (A non-town IDP may include households in more than one village.) ZONE divides the population points into seven rural economic zones in the country and urban which includes the major urban areas throughout the country. While comparisons across ZONES can provide additional information, the population points were not selected to be representative across zones. BAKU differentiates between population points in Baku, including IDP population points, and other population points.

GEO divides the population points into Baku, Other Urban and Rural, with IDP population points in each of the three categories. SAMPLE divides the population points into the three sampling groups: Baku, Outside of Baku, and IDP. W contains the weight: 1.258 for Baku, 1.0166 for Outside of Baku, and 0.694 for IDP. These weights must be applied to calculate countrywide estimates.
