The GIS shapefile for sub county (level 3) the 2014 Uganda Sample does not match the codes in the IPUMS data, thus they cannot be matched up. Is there a work around for this?
The variable GEO3_UG2014 can be used to join a data extract from IPUMS International with the Uganda 2014 sub-county shapefile available on the Year-Specific Third-Level Geography page; use the variable IPUM2014 on the shapefile to join it to your data extract. Note that GEO3_UG2014 from your data extract comes in long integer format whereas IPUM2014 from the shapefile is a string variable; you will need to convert GEO3_UG2014 into a string variable before completing the join. I checked this myself by creating a data extract of Uganda 2014 as a CSV and successfully joined it to the sub-county shapefile in ArcMap. If you run into any further issues joining the data, please email IPUMS User Support at ipums@umn.edu for more targeted help.
