Codes and Frequencies
Description
GEO1_BD2006 identifies the household's division of residence within Bangladesh in the 2006 MICS survey. Divisions are the primary level of geography in Bangladesh.
The first three digits of GEO1_BD2006 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 Bangladesh include the spatiotemporally harmonized GEO1_BD and GEO2_BD, and sample-specific geographies in GEO1_BD2012 and GEO1_BD2019.
A GIS map (in shapefile format) corresponding to GEO1_BD2006 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.
