QUESTION 4 - ANSWER

What percentage of people who live in traditional dwellings have moved in the last five years?

We know from the survey that the right variables to answer this question are "migrate" and "house_c". However, both variables contain invalid negative numbers, so we need to get rid of those to get any sensible numbers. So first of all, we might want to enter:

replace migrate=. if migrate<0

replace house_c=. if house_c<0

Now we want a table of percentages, calculated with the number of people living in traditional dwellings in the denominator. To get this, enter:

tab migrate house_c, column
