0 = Unknown.
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:
- Complex/technical variable: contact ipums@umn.edu for details.
Description
POPDENSGEO1 indicates the population density in persons per square kilometer of the major administrative unit in which the household was enumerated. The major administrative unit of the household is identified by the GEOLEV1 variable.
The area of units in GEOLEV1 is calculated using Mollweide's equal area projection. For a full set of geography variables refer to IPUMS International Geography variables list. For cross-national geographic analysis on the first and second major administrative level refer to GEOLEV1 and GEOLEV2. More information on IPUMS-International geography can be found here.
Comparability — General
Some GEOLEV1 units have legitimate populations in the data but cannot be located on a map. They are mostly the conflicted areas e.g. Darfur region in Sudan and some selected districts in Iraq. POPDENSGEO1 will be zero, which should be interpreted as "Unknown", for such units. Also, POPDENSGEO1 will not be accurate for countries with international boundary issues such as China, India, Pakistan, Palestine, and Israel. Moreover, POPDENSGEO1 will not be accurate for units that were not fully covered by a given sample; see sample descriptions for documentation of sample coverage.
In a small number of units, there may be households in the data, but all of the households have values of zero for HHWT due to sample design or post-stratification weighting. These units will have values of zero for POPDENSGEO1 and should be interpreted as having unknown population density.
