Description

GEO1_CU2019 identifies the household's province of residence within Cuba in the 2019 MICS survey. Provinces are the primary level of geography in Cuba.

The first three digits of GEO1_CU2019 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_CU2010 that applies to the 2010 survey, and the sample-specific GEO1_CU2014 that applies to the 2014 survey.
