Housing: Size and Condition of Dwelling

Variable note:

This is a variable that is fed forward from previous waves to route respondents appropriately in the questionnaire. To aid data collection, information reported at an earlier time is fed forward to the respondent to personalize the question. Rather than ask a question about the number of bedrooms in the household, the question might say: When we interviewed you on [ff_Idate], you said you had [ff_HsBeds] bedroom(s). is that still the case? (excluding any bedrooms you may let or sublet)

Question asked in the latest wave:

household_w14.hsbeds

Question label:

Number of bedrooms

Question text:
