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

There are no comparability issues. In all of the samples the period of reference is somewhat more than five years. The censuses asked for the person's place of residence on December 31 six calendar years prior to the census. Since the censuses were taken in March and April, the variable actually records residence roughly 5 years and 3 months ago.

Place of residence one year ago is available in MIG1_1_PT. Residence 7 years ago is available in the 1981 sample in MIG1_7_PT.

For the country of residence of international migrants, see MIGCTRY5 (Country of residence 5 years ago).
