Description

GEO1_ TD2010 identifies the household's province of residence within Chad in the 2010 MICS survey. Provinces are the primary level of geography in Chad.

The first three digits of GEO1_ TD2010 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 Democratic Republic of Congo includes spatiotemporally harmonized GEO1_TD and sample specific geography from GEO1_TD2019.

A GIS map (in shapefile format) corresponding to GEO1_TD2010 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.

Comparability

The former BET (Borkou-Ennedi-Tibesti) region was separated into Borkou, Ennedi, and Tibesti in 2008. However, due to insecurity and flooding, Borkou, Ennedi, and Tibesti were grouped together to provide representative data in the 2010 sample.
