2. Objectives
Build and demonstrate the potential of micro-data
historical census datasets
Why?
Because it hasn’t been done before!
3. Problem
Non-compatible geographical datasets
So?
Impossible to trace changes at the lowest data
aggregation level
4. Small-area / census tracts datasets
• Lowest level of aggregation for official data.
• Unique and indispensable information for the definition of public development
policies and for decision-making as regards investment by the public and pri-
vate sectors.
• Consistent grouping in terms of tabulation data and microdata available (6 sets
of tables)
