Explore how IPUMS created this variable
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
class Mig2_p_za : public Editor {

Mig2_p_za(VarPointer varInfo) : Editor(varInfo) {}

Description
MIG2_P_ZA indicates the person's district council of previous residence within South Africa. Migration district council codes for MIG2_P_ZA are compatible with codes for GEO2_ZA.
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
MIG2_P_ZA is only available for the 2011 and 2016 samples.
Where boundaries changed over time, units were harmonized to create units with boundaries that remain stable over time. Boundary changes for MIG2_P_ZA are too numerous to list here, but users should be aware that there were changes over time.
Districts with populations less than 20,000 (based on the most recent sample year) were regionalized (combined) with neighboring municipalities within the same province to create units with populations greater than 20,000.
