Description

GEO1_CU2010 identifies the household's region of residence within Cuba in the 2010 MICS survey. Regions in Cuba are groups of provinces. Provinces are the primary level of geography in Cuba.

The first three digits of GEO1_CU2010 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 Cuba include the spatiotemporally harmonized GEO1_CU that applies to all Cuba samples, the sample-specific GEO1_CU2006 that applies to the 2006 survey, the sample-specific GEO1_CU2014 that applies to the 2014 survey, and the sample-specific GEO1_CU2019 that applies to the 2019 survey.

A GIS map (in shapefile format) corresponding to GEO1_CU2010 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.
