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
- No supplemental programming
- Instructions for interpreting harmonization documents
Description
MIG2_P_CR indicates the person's canton of previous residence within Costa Rica. Migration canton codes from MIG2_P_CR are compatible with codes from GEO2_CR.
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
This variable is available for the 1963 Costa Rica sample only.
Where boundaries changed over time, units were harmonized to create units with boundaries that remain stable over time. Boundary changes for MIG2_P_CR are too numerous to list here, but users should be aware that there were changes over time.
