Count the number of households in each geographic area with a DJN in Develop a ratio (DJN ratio) between the number of DJN households in 1998 and the number of Jewish households found by RDD in Count the number of households with a DJN in 2008 and 2012 and apply the DJN ratio to estimate the number of Jewish households in 2008 and 2012.
