Description

GEO1_ TG2017 identifies the household's region of residence within Togo in the 2017 MICS survey. Regions are the primary level of geography in Togo.

The first three digits of GEO1_ TG2017 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 Togo includes spatiotemporally harmonized GEO1_TG and sample specific geography from GEO1_TG2006 and GEO1_TG2010.

A GIS map (in shapefile format) corresponding to GEO1_TG2017 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.
