Comparability — General
Where boundaries changed over time, units were harmonized to create units with boundaries that remain stable over time.
Boundary changes:
- In 1997 Comarca Ngobe Bugle was formed from parts of Bocas de Toro, Chiriqui, and Veraguas.
- In 1983 Comarca Embera was formed from Darien.
- In 2000 Comarca Kuna Yala (San Blas) was formed from Colon.
The 1980 sample excludes responses from those living in indigenous dwellings.
For the country of residence of international migrants in 2000 and 2010, see MIGCTRYP (Country of previous residence).
