Quotierung

German to English Bus/Financial Mathematics & Statistics Survey
Below, I attach four examples from the text I am currently translating. I do not think the translation is "quotation" or "quota". The text concerns a survey an there are tables showing the results.
1.
Die Gesamtstichprobe umfasst 1.000 ausgewertete Interviews und spiegelt hinsichtlich der Quotierung des Wohnortes bezogen auf das Bundesland die Einwohneranteile der Länder an der deutschen Gesamteinwohnerzahl wider.
2.
Die Quotierung Großstadt/Ländlicher Raum erfolgte gemessen an den jeweiligen Einwohneranteilen der Großstädte ab 100.000 Einwohner in den einzelnen Bundesländern.
3.
Um die Quotierung zu erzielen, erfolgte eine Gewichtung der Stichprobe nach Altersklassen.
4.
Die Quotierung der Altersklassen erfolgte ebenfalls gemessen am Bundesdurchschnitt

Can someone point me in the right direction? Many thanks!

Note from asker:
I do not think it is quote. What about classification? I figured this out after I posted the question and I think it works. What do you think?

"Rating" seems to fit in all your examples.
Note from asker:
I agree with the comment from DLyons. I first also went with rating but it does not quite fit.
Peer comment(s):

neutral DLyons : No, this is more technical. Just follow the link I posted.
