Explore how IPUMS created this variable
Most IPUMS data transformations are performed using variable harmonization tables that specify how each value in the source data is recoded. Some variables also require programming logic in addition to the harmonization table. The harmonization documents for this variable are:
- Harmonization table
- Supplemental programming
- Instructions for interpreting harmonization documents

Description
BPLCO2 indicates the person's recoded municipality of birth within Colombia. The geographic units identified in BPLCO2 are combinations of municipalities totaling 20,000 or more population in 1993 (see MUNICO).
Comparability — General
BPLCO2 is comparable across samples. The municipality groupings have the same composition in all years, except insofar as some municipalities were created out of old ones over the decades. Most such changes occurred between 1993 and 2005, and were concentrated in BolÃvar, Chocó, La Guajira, Magdalena departments. The composition of the municipalities is detailed in the code labels.
