Comparability — General

See also MIG2_P_BR for municipality of previous residence in 1980, 1991, and 2010. For the country of residence 5 years ago of international migrants, see MIGCTRY5 (Country of residence 5 years ago).

Where boundaries changed over time, units were harmonized to create units with boundaries that remain stable over time. Where officially-defined municipalities have populations less than 20,000, they have been regionalized (combined) with neighboring municipalities.

Boundary changes for MIG2_P_BR are too numerous to list here, but users should be aware that there were changes over time.
