POPDENSGEO2 is a 12-digit string variable listing the population density in persons per square kilometer.

Description

POPDENSGEO2 indicates the population density in persons per square kilometer of the second major administrative unit in which the household was enumerated. The second major administrative unit of the household is identified by the GEOLEV2 variable.

The area of units in GEOLEV2 is calculated using Mollweide's equal area projection. For a full set of geography variables refer to IPUMS International Geography variables list. For cross-national geographic analysis on the first and second major administrative level refer to GEOLEV1 and GEOLEV2. More information on IPUMS-International geography can be found here.

Comparability — General

Some GEOLEV2 units have legitimate populations in the data but cannot be located on a map. They are mostly the conflicted areas e.g. Darfur region in Sudan and some selected districts in Iraq. POPDENSGEO2 will be zero for such units. Also, POPDENSGEO2 will not be accurate for countries with international boundary issues such as China, India, Pakistan, Palestine, and Israel.
