Description

REGNPT identifies the region within Portugal in all sample years. Regions follow the geographic divisions of the Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS). They correspond to Portuguese administrative regions. REGNPT is harmonized by name and does not account for boundary changes over time.

The full set of geography variables for Portugal can be found in the IPUMS International Geography variables list. For cross-national geographic analysis on the first and second major administrative level of any country refer to GEOLEV1, and GEOLEV2. More information on IPUMS-International geography can be found here.
