st: matching method

Hello Stata experts and statisticians,
I have a survey dataset with 20% missing in the HRA variable which is a geographic locator. Those with HRA missing are more likely to be younger age, non-white race, lower income etc.
I would like to get a 1:1 match for each of the subjects with HRA missing from the non-missing group.
Should I use propensity score matching (selecting y to be one of the many indicator variables in the survey and t to be the missing/non-missing group), hot deck matching or some other matching method? With hot deck, I'm concerned that some of the cells will become too thin even if I just use three matching variables.
Thank you very much for your advice.
Lin
