Definition
MIG1_5_CL indicates the person's province of residence in Chile five years prior to the census. The data for 1982-2017 are coded into the modern geographic classification of provinces. Migration commune codes for MIG1_5_CL are compatible with codes for GEO1_CL.
See MIG1ALT_5_CL for a comparable variable that codes the 1970 sample into the pre-1974 geographic classification of provinces. See also MIG1ALT_P_CL for a similar variable on province of prior residence for 1960, which also uses the pre-1974 geography.
