Description

Definition

GEO1_TT identifies the household's regions (that includes boroughs, parish and cities), within Trinidad and Tobago in all sample years. Regions are the first level administrative units of the country. GEO1_TT is spatially harmonized to account for political boundary changes across census years. Some detail is lost in harmonization; see the comparability discussion. A GIS map (in shapefile format), corresponding to GEO1_TT can be downloaded from the GIS Boundary files page in the IPUMS International web site.

The full set of geography variables for Trinidad and Tobago can be found in the IPUMS International Geography variables list. For cross-national geographic analysis on the first and second major administrative level refer to GEOLEV1, and GEOLEV2. More information on IPUMS-International geography can be found here.
