  • population size on svy: proportion command

    Hello,
    I have surveyed the residents of a city of population 61000 people, obtaining 242 responses. I am using the svy: proportion command to look at proportions, including a population weight I have computed. I am struggling to understand whether the population size appearing on the command is not 61000, and generally whether it influences at all the proportion results.
    Thank you.

    My initial guess is that you have either misspecified your weight type or miscalculated your weights. If you're using svyset, your total your_weight_var should reflect your population size of 61000...
