Description

GEO1_GN identifies the household's region of residence within Guinea in the 2016 MICS survey.

The first three digits of GEO1_GN provide the country code; the last three digits specify the geographic unit within the country. Leading zeros are used when the geographical unit within the country requires less than a three-digit code. Other geography variables for Guinea include GEO1ALT_GN, which provides the household's natural region of residence.

A GIS map (in shapefile format) corresponding to GEO1_GN is available on the GIS Boundary files page. The full set of geography variables for all MICS samples and countries can be found at IPUMS MICS Geography.
