Codes whether the individual migrated to their current domicile from an urban area.

1 = Yes (i.e., came from urban area)
0 = No (i.e., came from rural area)
- 1 = Yes (i.e., came from urban area)
- 0 = No (i.e., came from rural area)

If the survey contains information on the area from where the person migrated, use the [concept of administrative division](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Administrative_division) to inform the migration pattern. The codes are:

1 = From same admin3 area
2 = From same admin2 area
3 = From same admin1 area
4 = From other admin1 area
5 = From other country
- 1 = From same admin3 area
- 2 = From same admin2 area
- 3 = From same admin1 area
- 4 = From other admin1 area
- 5 = From other country
- 6 = Within country, admin unknown
- 7 = Wholly unknow

To exemplify the use, Spain is divided into Communities (admin1 level), Provinces (admin2 level) and municipalities (names change within provinces, but rough concept holds – admin3 level). A person moving within the municipality, for example, from one village to the next, codes 1. A person moving within the province, say from a rural municipality to the province capital codes 2. A person moving within the same community yet leaving their province codes 3. A person moving from one community to another, say from [Andalusia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andalusia) to [Galicia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galicia_(Spain)), codes 4. If the person moved from outside the country (regardless of their nationality) codes 5.
