Codes and Frequencies
Description

The first three digits of GEO1_SL 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 Sierra Leone include GEO2_SL.
A GIS map (in shapefile format) corresponding to GEO1_SL 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.
