Comparability — General
MIG2_P_EC is only available for the 1974 and 1982 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_P_EC are too numerous to list here, but users should be aware that there were changes over time.
The areas included in the non-delimited zones might vary from one census year to another.
