Description

GEO1_ SR2018 identifies the household's district of residence within Suriname in the 2018 MICS survey. Districts are the primary level of geography in Suriname.

The first three digits of GEO1_ SR2018 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 Suriname include the spatiotemporally harmonized GEO1_SR and sample-specific geography in GEO1_SR2006 and GEO1_SR2010.

A GIS map (in shapefile format) corresponding to GEO1_SR2018 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.
