4.1 Final Sample Stratification
The 21 sampling strata are listed in Table 4.1 where the category column reflects the over-sample stratification category listed in the Section 2.2.2 above, the “HH Probability” column reports the probability that a household in a stratum would be sampled, “HH County Sample Pct.” reports the share of households within the jurisdiction to be drawn from the stratum, and “HH Overall Sample Pct.” reports the share of households in the total sample to be drawn from the stratum.

4.2 Response Rates Equivalent to BAS 2023
The calculation of \(e\) was different than the method used in 2023. In the BAS 2023, \(e\) assumed a constant overall rate of 87% eligibility, meaning that \(e\) for the overall sample. Calculating the response rate using the same method as the BAS 2023 yields the following \(e\) and RR3 values for the samples:
- Full sample: e = 0.9513; RR3 = 14.7%
- BAS logo: e = 0.9537; RR3 = 13.7%
- JHU logo: e = 0.9489; RR3 = 15.7%
- City: e = 0.9676; RR3 = 14.5%
- County: e = 0.9226; RR3 = 15.1%
4.3 Race Recode Values
Table 4.2 contains values provided in the “Other-specify” field for employment status and the racial categories to which each value was recoded. The following codes were used:
- bl: Black
- wh: White
- as: Asian
- ai: American Indian
- mu: Multiracial (for respondents who expressly indicated multiracial identity, e.g., “mixed” or “bi-racial”)
