Comparability — General

The universe differs between samples.

See also MIG1_5_BR for state of residence 5 years ago in 1991 and 2000. For the previous country of residence of international migrants, see MIGCTRYP (Country of previous residence).

The 1960, 1970, and 1980 samples do not account for if a person migrated and then moved back to their state of birth. For the 1991, 2000, and 2010 samples, previous residence is limited to moves within the last 10 years. Users could use BPLBR to get more information on lifetime migration.

Where boundaries changed over time, units were harmonized to create units with boundaries that remain stable over time.

  • The state of Tocantins was formed out of Goias in 1989.
  • Mato Grosso do Sul split from Mato Grosso in 1979.
  • The state of Guanabara was merged with the state of Rio de Janeiro in 1975.
  • The municipality of Serra dos Aimorés received its own code in 1960, when its status was in litigation between two states. It subsequently became part of Minas Gerais by 1970.
  • The 1970 sample is missing the island of Fernando de Noronha. The island was under military authority until 1981, and has been administered by the state of Pernambuco. Due to confidentiality issues, it was merged with Pernambuco in the 1960 and 1980 sample.

Missing states: The 1960 sample is missing 11 states, including the entire North region. These states are:
