Description

GEO1_BI identifies the household's region of residence within Burundi in the 2005 MICS survey.

The 17 provinces of Burundi were divided into five regions:

  • North: Kayanza, Kirundo, Muyinga, Ngozi
  • West: Bubanza, Bujumbura Rural, Cibitoke, Bujumbura Mairie
  • East: Cankuzo, Ruyigi
  • South: Bururi Rural, Makamba, Rutana
  • Center: Gitega, Karusi, Muramvya, Mwaro

The first three digits of GEO1_BI 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.

A GIS map (in shapefile format) corresponding to GEO1_BI 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.
