Abstract
Area sampling is a catchall term for a set of procedures in which geographic areas are selected as intermediate units on the way to sampling lower-level units that are the targets of a survey. Area sampling is just an example of multistage sampling, but because special data sources and methods are used, we devote a separate chapter to it. Calculations for determining sample allocations to the different stages are the same as those covered in Chap. 9.

No persons may be sampled from households with common characteristics so that study funds can be used to oversample households with more rare traits (e.g., households with children or of a certain minority race/ethnicity).
