Description

GEO1_RS2005 identifies the household's statistical region of residence within Serbia in the 2005 MICS survey. Statistical regions in Serbia are groups of districts. Districts are the primary level of geography in Serbia.

The first three digits of GEO1_RS2005 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 Serbia include the spatiotemporally harmonized GEO1_RS that applies to the 2010 to 2019 MICS surveys.

A GIS map (in shapefile format) corresponding to GEO1_SR2005 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.
