OLAS/SCL WASH Household Survey Dataset

By Water and Sanitation Division (VPS/INE/WSA)

The OLAS/SCL Household Survey Data Set contains 47 water and sanitation related indicators generated from microdata from national household surveys throughout the region.

The data set contains information from 2003-2022 for 22 countries throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. Indicators are provided in terms of household percentage and total households that fall into each category, and can be broken down by various socioeconomic dimensions, including:

  • area (urban or rural community),
  • income quintile
  • migratory status
  • ethnicity, and
  • disability status.

This dataset is the result of a collaboration between INE/WSA and SCL, and is a subset of the larger IDB SCL Indicators dataset.
