Property Type Definition
Administrative
Identifiers from Event concept:Identifier
Identifiers carried by this entity, such as national ID numbers, program IDs, or identifiers asserted by an identity document.
Subject from Profile concept:Party includes Person, Group, Household, Family, Farm
The person or group that the profile or scoring event is about. Ranged at Party (not Agent) because Profiles observe receivers: persons and organised groups of persons (Household, Family, Farm). Institutional actors (Organizations) are described through their own Organization records, not as subjects of a Profile.
Observation date from Profile date
The date on which the profile data was collected (when the instrument was administered or the measurement taken).
Performed by from Profile concept:Agent includes Person, Organization, SoftwareAgent
The agent (enumerator, field officer, or agency) accountable for administering the instrument or taking the measurement. Typically a Person or an Organization. When a software tool captured or derived the data, record it separately as software_used; performed_by identifies who is responsible, not what ran the capture.
Instrument used from Profile concept:Instrument
Reference to the instrument (survey form, questionnaire, screening protocol, measurement procedure) administered in this profile record.
Software used from Profile concept:SoftwareAgent
The software that performed this step, recorded so the result can be reproduced or audited. Distinct from the accountable evaluator or performer (the person or organisation responsible), which is recorded separately.
Administration mode from Profile string (administration-mode)
How the instrument was administered to the subject: self-report, proxy-report (someone else answering about the subject), assisted (the subject answering with help), or mixed. Washington Group analytical guidance recommends disaggregating prevalence by administration mode because proxy responses systematically underreport difficulty.
Respondent from Profile concept:Person
The person who provided the answers to the instrument, when different from the subject. Required whenever the administration mode is proxy or assisted.
Respondent relationship from Profile string (relationship-type)
The relationship of the respondent to the subject (parent, spouse, guardian, caregiver, etc.). Uses relationship-type because it describes a person-to-person relationship, not a role within a group. Required whenever the administration mode is proxy or assisted.
Items asked from Profile string
The PublicSchema property IDs that were actually asked during this administration. Lets adopters distinguish items that were asked and declined (answer absent) from items that were not asked at all. When omitted, the item set is assumed to be the default item_set of the instrument used. The intended producer is the form compiler or collection server, which populates this list from the form definition at submission time.
Housing
Dwelling type string (dwelling-type)
The type of dwelling occupied by the household (e.g., permanent structure, temporary shelter, shared housing).
Floor material string (floor-material) The primary material of the floor in the household's dwelling.
Wall material string (wall-material) The primary material of the exterior walls in the household's dwelling.
Roof material string (roof-material) The primary material of the roof in the household's dwelling.
Water & Sanitation
Water source string (water-source) The main source of drinking water used by the household.
Water service level string (water-service-level)
The WHO/UNICEF JMP classification of the household's drinking water service. Derived from water source type and collection time; not directly observed.
Water collection time (minutes) integer
Round-trip time in minutes to the household's main drinking water source, including queuing. JMP classifies an improved source with collection time of 30 minutes or less as Basic service; more than 30 minutes as Limited service. Zero or near-zero indicates water on premises.
Sanitation facility string (sanitation-facility) The type of toilet or sanitation facility used by the household.
Sanitation service level string (sanitation-service-level)
The WHO/UNICEF JMP classification of the household's sanitation service. Derived from facility type and sharing status; not directly observed.
Sanitation shared households integer
Number of households sharing the sanitation facility. Zero or null indicates an unshared (private) facility. Any value greater than zero indicates a shared facility and prevents classification as JMP Basic service, regardless of count.
Energy
Cooking fuel string (cooking-fuel) The primary fuel used by the household for cooking.
Electricity access boolean Whether the household has access to electricity from any source.
Assets
Household assets string (household-asset)
Durable goods owned by the household, used as wealth proxy indicators in targeting and proxy means testing.
ICT Access
ICT access string (ict-access)
Information and communication technology devices and services accessible to the household.
Economic
Income source string (income-source)
The primary reported source of income for the household, used in targeting and proxy means testing.
Demographics
Settlement type string (settlement-type)
The classification of the area where the household is located by degree of urbanization.
Food Security
Food security level string (food-security-level)
A coarse current-state summary of the household's food insecurity, used by operational systems for targeting and referral queries. This is NOT the raw output of a specific food-security assessment instrument: item-level responses (FCS, rCSI, LCS, HDDS, FIES, HHS, MDD-W, MAHFP) belong on a dedicated food-security profile published in a sibling schema (see ADR-011). Populate food_security_level from a Profile only by citing the instrument and cutoff rule that produced the band via a ScoringEvent; otherwise treat it as a self-declared or enumerator-judged summary.

Evidence

Present in 1 of 6 mapped delivery systems.

DCI Social Registry is the only v1 system that names this concept directly. OpenSPP, OpenCRVS, and openIMIS do not carry socio-economic survey data in core; where national deployments collect it (Cadastro Unico, Listahanan, Kenya SR-NIS, Indonesia DTKS, Turkiye ISAS), it lives in a separate registration-survey module whose shape matches this concept even when the name differs. FHIR can serialize these as a QuestionnaireResponse for a PMT or registration questionnaire. Household retains food_security_level as a current-state summary; survey-collected dwelling, WASH, energy, assets, ICT, income, and settlement data belong here.
