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
MIG1_1_US indicates the person's state of residence within the United States 1 year ago.
Click on the Source Variables tab for information on place of residence for each sample year. Source variables may contain more geographic unit detail but are not suitable for cross-temporal comparison.
Comparability — General
MIG1_1_US is fully comparable across U.S. samples.
US Territories, including Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Virgin Islands are coded as "Abroad".
For a similar variable reporting state of residence 5 years ago in earlier U.S. samples, see MIG1_5_US
