Notes: Data are from the UNHCR PMS, where each observation is a respondent or a household member they reported on. All statistics are expressed as percentages and are weighted to account for country subsamples’ over- or underrepresentation based on the UNHCR's estimates of the Venezuelan population size in each country in 2019. The notes to Figure A1 (online appendix) describe how weights are calculated. Percentages in the last four rows under changes in household size do not sum to 100 and sum to more than the percentage experiencing any change because individuals can experience more than one source of change in their household size.
