Latin American Census Data: Argentina, 2010

This collection comprises six geospatial datasets from Argentina's Censo 2010, collected by the Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Censos de la Republica Argentina (INDEC) and documented and restructured by East View Cartographic, Inc. as part of a partnership with IPUMS International titled the Global Census Archive. The collection includes five Shapefile polygon layers organized by thematic category — Demographic, Economic, Housing, Migration, and Social — at the township administrative level, plus the source ESRI Geodatabase from which the thematic layers were derived. All data covers 52,408 townships with 233 total attribute variables across five thematic tables. Demographic indicators include sex, age cohort, and relationship to the head of the household; economic indicators cover employment; housing indicators document house type, building materials and physical characteristics, facilities, home ownership, and family structure; migration indicators include country of birth; and social indicators encompass schooling and literacy. All variable names were translated from Spanish, with field name prefixes used to organize attributes by theme (D = Demographic, E = Economic, H = Housing, M = Migration, S = Social).
