Comparability — General
MIG1_5_EC is only available for the 1990, 2001, and 2010 censuses.
Where boundaries changed over time, units were harmonized to create units with boundaries that remain stable over time.
Boundary changes and confidentiality issues:
- Sucumbios was created in 1989 and Orellana was created in 1998; both units were formed from the province of Napa.
- In 2007 two new provinces were created: Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas formed form Pichincha and Santa Elena from Guayas.
- Galapagos Islands are combined with Guayas for confidentiality reasons.
