Comparability — General
MIG2_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. Where officially-defined cantons have populations less than 20,000, they have been regionalized (combined) with neighboring cantons.
Boundary changes for MIG2_5_EC are too numerous to list here, but users should be aware that there were changes over time.
The areas included in the disputed zones might vary from one census year to another. The 1990 and 2010 samples mention Las Golondrinas, Manga Del Cura, and El Piedrero as non-delimited zones.
