Description

This variable identifies whether the person's place of residence at the time of the census corresponded with the administrative division in which they were officially registered.

Those respondents with occupations that required frequent or extended leaves of absence (prospectors, fishermen, diplomats and their staff, and so on) were enumerated at the place of their household registration -- even if they were not present during the reference period -- in order to ensure enumeration and avoid repetition or omission.
