What This Dataset Measures

Official statistics datasets help analysts inspect public data as published by governments, national statistical systems, and regional data portals.

Source-provided context: Summary: This microdata table contains information on expenditure in the last 4 weeks collected in the fifth Integrated Household Living Conditions Survey, known as EICV5 (Enquête Intégrale sur les Conditions de Vie des ménages). A main cross-sectional sample survey, a panel survey and a VUP (Vision Umurenge Programme) sample survey were conducted simultaneously; this microdata table relates to the cross-sectional sample survey. Geographic Coverage: National coverage (Rwanda), including rural and urban households and allowing province- and district-level estimation of key indicators. Data are disaggregated up to the district level. Time Period: The EICV5 survey was conducted over a 12-month cycle from October 2016 to October 2017. Data collection was divided into 10 cycles in order to represent seasonality in the income and consumption data.

Usage

from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("electricsheepafrica/africa-rwanda-eicv5-expenditure-last-4-weeks-5c0c0267")
df = ds["train"].to_pandas()
print(df.head())

Inspect Columns

print(df.info())
print(df.head())

Filter By Geography

if "country_iso3" in df.columns:
    sample = df[df["country_iso3"] == "RWA"]

Time-Series Pattern

if "value" in df.columns and "year" in df.columns:
    trend = df.sort_values("year")

Pivot For Analysis

if {"indicator_id", "year", "value"}.issubset(df.columns):
    matrix = df.pivot_table(index="year", columns="indicator_id", values="value")
    print(matrix.tail())

Data Quality Notes

• No canonical year/date column was detected in the packaged table; use source metadata and domain context for temporal interpretation.
• Missing values are preserved rather than silently imputed.
• Column names are standardized for machine use; source meanings are preserved where known.
• Always confirm source methodology, units, and collection definitions before policy, production, or redistribution-sensitive use.
