More information about IPUMS geography variables is available here<\/a>. Also, approximately 100 integrated variables were renamed. Affected variables with their current and previous names are listed here<\/a>. Geography variable also underwent wholesale renaming.\n\nIn this update, IPUMS added 19 new samples for Armenia, Austria, Costa Rica, Ethiopia, France, Ghana, Mozambique, Paraguay, Portugal, Puerto Rico, South Africa, and Spain.

IPUMS has developed subnational geographies for each country that are consistent over time and have associated GIS shape files. To distinguish the harmonized and unharmonized geographic variables, which will ultimately be available at the first and second administrative levels for most countries, a new, more systematic variable-naming convention have been imposed.

The details of the confidentiality protections vary across countries, but in all cases, names and detailed geographic information are suppressed and top-codes are imposed on variables such as income that might identify specific persons. In addition, IPUMS-International uses a variety of technical procedures to enhance confidentiality protection. These include the following:\n\n(1) Swapping an undisclosed fraction of records from one administrative district to another to make positive identification of individuals impossible.\n\n(2) Randomizing the placement of households within districts to disguise the order in which individuals were enumerated or the data processed.\n\n(3) Aggregating codes of sensitive characteristics (e.g., grouping together very small ethnic categories)\n\n(4) Top- and bottom-coding continuous variables to prevent identification of extreme cases.\n\nThe safety record for public-use census microdata is apparently perfect. In almost four decades of use, there has not been a single verified breach of statistical confidentiality.
