How should I use PERWT to estimate populations by districts in kenya for the years '89 '99' 09'?

1

I’m using Stata and would like to estimate populations by district in the years '89, '99, and '09. I think I have to use the PERWT variable but am unsure about how to use it correctly.

I then am interested in using FUELCOOK data to compare fuelusage across time by district.

Thank you!

The weight variable projects the sample to a geographically-representative population. You can find training materials here to assist with using IPUMS data in STATA. To estimate population by year and district, the code would look like this:
tab geo2_kex year [weight=perwt]

To estimate the number of people using each type of cooking fuel by year and district, the code would look like this:
bysort geo2_kex: tab year fuelcook [weight=perwt]

Hope this helps.
