Notes

Variable names translated from Spanish/Portuguese to English using Google Translate. Field name prefixes, originally written with native language titles, were renamed to create unique names across the geodatabase (e.g. Original variable of "Conyuge o pareja" was updated to D002 and given the alias "Relationship to the head of household: Spouse or partner[Relaci√≥n o parentesco con el jefe(a) del hogar: Conyuge o pareja]", the letter D was given as it relates to the Demographic theme table. D = Demographic, E = Economic, H = Housing, M = Migration and S = Social). All variables from the original data was reviewed for completeness and organized into their relevant themes of Demographic, Economic, Housing, Migration and Social.
