Definition
GEO1_CAX identifies the household's province within Canada in all sample years. Provinces are the first level administrative units of the country. GEO1_CAX is harmonized by name and does not account for boundary changes over time.
The full set of geography variables for Canada 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.
At the present moment, IPUMS International is only releasing integrated geography for the first level of geography for Canada. Year specific geography and maps will become available in the near future.
