Description

Definition

GEO_PK2017 (V101_PK2017) reports the region of Pakistan where the respondent was interviewed, using provinces as the geographic unit.

Other Pakistan sample years have their own sample-specific geography variables. The integrated variable GEO_PK1991_2017 provides spatially consistent units over time for Pakistan samples.

A GIS map for GEO_ PK2017 (in shapefile format) can be downloaded from the DHS Program Spatial Data Repository [URL omitted from DDI.] Boundaries page.
