- Harmonization table
- No supplemental programming
- Instructions for interpreting harmonization documents

Comparability — General
Where boundaries changed over time, units were harmonized to create units with boundaries that remain stable over time. Where officially defined provinces have populations less than 20,000, they have been regionalized (combined) with neighboring provinces.
Boundary changes for BPL2_BO are too numerous to list here, but users should be aware that there were changes over time.
For the country of birth of international migrants, see BPLCOUNTRY (Country of birth).
