Description

Definition

GEO1_BF identifies the household's region within Burkina Faso from 1996 to present. Regions are the first level administrative units of the country. GEO1_BF is spatially harmonized to account for political boundary changes across census years. Some detail is lost in harmonization; see the comparability discussion. A GIS map (in shapefile format), corresponding to GEO1_BF can be downloaded from the GIS Boundary files page in the IPUMS International web site.

The full set of geography variables for Burkina Faso can be found in the 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.
