Comparability

The units in DHS_IPUMSI_RW are harmonized across DHS and IPUMS-International samples to account for changing boundaries in the major administrative level of geography. The time span for DHS samples are 2005 to 2019 and corresponds to the census samples from 2012 in IPUMS-International.

Rwanda 1992 and 2000 in DHS samples and 1991 and 2002 in IPUMS-International are excluded from DHS_IPUMSI_RW due to inconsistent boundaries and geographic units.

Boundary changes: In 2002, geographic units of prefectures changed to provinces. In 2006, the twelve provinces were abolished and replaced with the five provinces available in GEO_RW.
