These are classifications the IRW records, not the study’s own words. Some were annotated by hand and some written by an automated tagger whose output is published only where it clears a measured accuracy bar; which values came from which is not recorded per table. Coverage and accuracy per column, and what is held back, are on Tag quality.
This table has item text in the IRW: the wording administered to respondents, not just the response codes.

This codebook is reconstructed by the IRW from the IRW data standard and the script that built it, guatemala_2024_homes.do. It is our best reading, not the source’s own codebook, and it may contain mistakes. Where the two disagree, the source data are the authority. If you find an error, please tell us.

id | IRW standard Identifier for the focal unit being measured — typically a person, but sometimes another entity (e.g., a word in a lexical task). | made in the build script |
item | IRW standard Item identifier. | made in the build script |

What item codes and covariate values stand for is in the source’s codebook, ENCASBA.2024_Diccionarios.xlsx (sheet Hogares), and its questionnaire, BOLETA-ENCASBA-2024.pdf, which shows the item wording.
Respondent uniqueness. 2% of this table’s respondents are alone in their combination of the 3 covariates above — no one else in the table shares it. That is a necessary condition for re-identification and not re-identification itself. The IRW republishes the demographics its sources published and never at finer granularity: see the data standard.

INE confirmed in writing (10 February 2026) that ENCASBA is public, free of charge and freely reusable, and may be used for analysis and academic research. This IRW table reformats that information into the IRW data standard; cite INE Guatemala as the source of the original data.
Or load it directly in R (no account needed with irw 1.4.0 or later) or Python (needs a free Redivis account; the first call opens a browser to sign in):
# R
install.packages("irw")
library(irw)
df <- irw_fetch("guatemala_2024_homes_safety")
# Python
pip install irw
import irw
df = irw.fetch("guatemala_2024_homes_safety")
