Description

Definition
GEO1_CR identifies the household's province within Costa Rica in all sample years. Provinces are the first level administrative units of the country. GEO1_CR is spatially harmonized to account for political boundary changes across census years. Some detail is lost in harmonization. A GIS map (in shapefile format), corresponding to GEO1_CR can be downloaded from the GIS Boundary files page in the IPUMS International web site.

The full set of geography variables for Costa Rica 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.
