Codes and Frequencies
Description
GEO2_IQ identifies the household's governorate of residence within Iraq in the 2006 through 2018 MICS surveys. Governorates are the primary level of geography in Iraq.
The first three digits of GEO2_IQ provide the country code; the second three digits provide the codes for GEO1_IQ; the last three digits specify the governorate 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 Iraq include the spatiotemporally harmonized GEO1_IQ and sample specific GEO2_IQ2011.
A GIS map (in shapefile format) corresponding to GEO2_IQ 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.
