Details

Source: U.S. Department of Justice (1989). Strata 6-16 each contain one facility; the psus in those strata are residents. In strata 1-5, the psus are facilities. The number of facilities in the population (N_h) for those five facilities are: N_1 = 99, N_2 = 39, N_3 = 30, N_4 = 13, N_5 = 14. Eleven facilities are sampled from stratum 1 and seven facilities are sampled from each of strata 2 through 5.
