(IHGISNE2001POPG2)
Niger 2001 population census linkage (IHGIS), level 2
Return to IHGIS geography variables list

IHGISNE2001POPG2 is a 4-digit alpha-numeric variable representing second-level geographic units.

Description

IHGISNE2001POPG2 is a geographic crosswalk variable that enables users to link DHS sample clusters to corresponding geography from census tabulations in the IHGIS database from Niger 2001. This variable was created using GPS data associated with the specific DHS sample. See more information on how the variable was created on our user note on the IHGIS-DHS linkages.

The complementary variable IHGISNE2001POPG2P reports the probability that a DHS sample cluster was placed in the correct IHGIS census geographic unit in IPUMS IHGIS.

Users can attach aggregate population census data from IHGIS to the units in IHGISNE2001POPG2 and attach those measures to IPUMS DHS individuals or households as contextual information for microdata analysis.

Comparability

A code of 0 means that the respective DHS cluster does not have associated location information. If this is the case, the corresponding probability variable will also be coded as 0.

Comparability - Standard DHS

IHGISNE2001POPG2 is a contextual variable using geography codes from the IPUMS IHGIS database and survey-specific GPS coordinates from the DHS Program.
