Cameroon - Third General Census of Population and Housing 2005 - IPUMS Subset

GEO1B_CM identifies the household's province within Cameroon, which is the major administrative level of the country. GEO1B_CM is harmonized solely based on the names of the geographical unit. It does not take into account the changes that may have occurred in the political boundaries of the units. A GIS map (in shapefile format), corresponding to the most recent census year can be downloaded from the GIS Boundary files page in the IPUMS International web site.

Lower level geographical units can be found in the variable GEO2B_CM (departments) and ARRNDCM (districts).
