Most IPUMS data transformations are performed using variable harmonization tables that specify how each value in the source data is recoded. Some variables also require programming logic in addition to the harmonization table. The harmonization documents for this variable are:
- Harmonization table
- Supplemental programming
- Instructions for interpreting harmonization documents

Description
MIG2_5_MU indicates the person's Municipal Ward/Village Council Area (MVCA) of residence 5 years ago within Mauritius. Migration MVCA codes from MIG2_5_MU are compatible with codes from GEO2_MU.
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
Where boundaries changed over time, units were harmonized to create units with boundaries that remain stable over time. Boundary changes for MIG2_5_MU are too numerous to list here, but users should be aware that there were changes over time. Where officially-defined MVCA's have populations less than 20,000, they have been regionalized (combined) with neighboring provinces.
For the country of residence of international migrants, see MIGCTRY5 (Country of residence 5 years ago).
