Countries have different definitions of urban areas. In this variable, we have harmonized the variables as defined by the survey program. See the comparability sections and universe tab for each data collection in IPUMS Global Health for more information about country specific comparability issues.
For IPUMS MICS, we have made the following choices.
Peri-urban, slums or informal settlements, and refugee camps were categorized as "urban".
Tribal and nomadic areas were categorized as "rural".
Tribal and nomadic areas were categorized as "rural".
The original harmonization that maintains there distinct categories can be found in the IPUMS MICS variable URBAN.
