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

Comparability — General
Where boundaries changed over time, units were harmonized to create units with boundaries that remain stable over time. Where officially-defined departments have populations under 20,000, they have been regionalized (combined) with neighboring departments.
Boundary changes and confidentiality issues:
- Sucre split from Bolivar in 1967
- Casanare split from Boyacá in 1974.
- Cesar split from Magdalena in 1967
- Boundaries changed between Cesar and Norte de Santander sometime between 1993 and 2005
- QuindÃo split from Caldas in 1966.
- Risaralda split from Caldas in 1967.
- Bogotá and Cundinamarca are represented as a single unit named Cundinamarca/Federal District in the 1964 and 1973 censuses, but were separately enumerated in all the later samples after changes constitutional terms.
- Guaviare split from Vaupés in 1982.
- Amazonas, Guaviare, Vaupés, Vichada, are combined for confidentiality reasons.
Missing departments: The 1993 sample is missing 2 departments.
- GuainÃa
- Vaupés
