2002 AHS: weighted total numbers of recent movers

HUD.GOV HUDUser.gov
eList
AHS
I tried to estimate the total numbers of recently moved households in the
13 MSAs, using the data in the mover module and aggregating the data to
the household level. But the numbers (weighted total)are different from
those in the AHS data charts posted on the AHS website
(http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/housing/ahs/metropolitandata.html). Mine
are quite larger than those on the web. For example, the web shows 163.2
recent respondents in Anaheim-Santa Ana MSA; mine is 245.6.

I have checked my numbers over and over again but do not seem to find
anything I have done wrong in the process. Should I use different weight
variable instead of "WEIGHT"?


Any idea?


many thanks in advance!
