Description

Definition
This variable reflects the year in which the enumerated person moved into their usual residence.
Universe
All persons enumerated on household and personal questionnaires at night between Wednesday 9 October and Thursday 10 October 1996.

Others

Notes
If the person had ever moved, the respondent was asked for the year in which the person moved to the dwelling of usual residence and then for the location (Magisterial district and Place name) of the previous residence. This variable, ‘Year moved to usual residence’, records whether each person had moved and, if so, in what year they last moved.

This variable should be used in conjunction with ‘District of usual residence’, and ‘District of previous residence’.
