Understanding Society User Support

Hello,

As part of my analysis I am attempting to track individuals who have move, how long they live at a subsequent address, to and differences in the environment of their LSOA (using a special license) after their move. This analysis would be across as many UKLS waves as possible.

Based on previous post #1151 vars plnowm and plnowy4 provide this information which can be cross-checked with whether or not their LSOA changed to see if it was within the same LSOA or outside of it. However, Post #1539 recommends to use variables addrmov_dv and distmov_dv. This data would not be as useful as there is no data for wave 2 and also it doesn't have the persons specific move month and year, just the wave. I was wondering if there is a reason for a lack of wave 2 data for the two variables addrmov_dv and distmov_dv and if there is a limitation to using plnowm and plnowy4 instead?

Apologies if an answer is available elsewhere and thanks for your help.

All the best,

Richard
