Notes

If the person had ever moved, the respondent was asked for the year in which the person moved to the dwelling of usual residence and then for the location (Magisterial district and Place name) of the previous residence. This variable, ‘Year moved to usual residence’, records whether each person had moved and, if so, in what year they last moved.

This variable should be used in conjunction with ‘District of usual residence’, and ‘District of previous residence’.
