GEO1_CU identifies the household's province within Cuba in 2002. Provinces are the first level administrative units of the country. A GIS map (in shapefile format), corresponding to GEO1_CU can be downloaded from the GIS Boundary files page in the IPUMS International web site.
The full set of geography variables for Cuba 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 Cuba. Year specific geography and maps along with variables that are spatially harmonized at the second level of geography will become available in the near future.
