4-level Neyman stratification boundaries for the cluster (section) list stratified by the number of residential structures per section (cols. 4–5), and the number of persons per section (cols. 6–7). In practice, the latter may be unknown. An allocation of (1, 1, 1, 1) sections per stratum is optimal for a sample size of 4 sections, which was used in our examples. The (2, 1, 6, 1) allocation, shown for comparison, is optimal for a 10-section sample. See Table 3.
