Why do the national sample flags and city sample flags have different sample sizes than the weights variables?

0

There are valid weights for 1) interviewed cases and 2) cases in which we determined that the parent or child had died or that the child had been adopted or is living with neither parent. The cases for adoptions/living with neither parent have little or no interview data, they are coded as no in the national sample flags (and interview flags). Data users can, however, estimate the proportion of children/parents who died, etc by applying the weights to the interview sample flags.
