Main survey variable: urban_dv Urban or rural area, derived

Urban or rural area, derived

Binary indicator classifying the address as falling into an (1) urban or (2) rural area. This is derived from the Office for National Statistics Rural and Urban Classification of Output Areas 2001 (UKDS Study Number 7454). The indicator assumes a value of (1) if the address falls within urban settlements with a population of 10,000 or more, or (2) otherwise. Note that address information may not have been available, or incorrect. In those cases the indicator is set to missing/wild.
