Description
Definition
GEO2_MU identifies the household's Municipal Ward/Village Council Area (MVCA) within Mauritius in all sample years. MVCA’s are the second level administrative units of the country, after districts. GEO2_MU is spatially harmonized accounting 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 GEO2_MU can be downloaded from the GIS Boundary files page in the IPUMS International web site.
The full set of geography variables for Mauritius 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.
