Some notes when using this property

edit
  • For consistency across time periods, it is appropriate to encode the division even where some sources do not explicitly add the division number to the start of the code. This necessarily also requires that for Barisal, Rangpur, and Sylhet Divisions, two codes must be present per administrative entity within those divisions, one (to be marked deprecated) for the original division a certain entity was in and one (with either original or preferred rank) for the new division the entity is in. (This, of course, does not mean those three newer divisions themselves get two codes.)
  • As yet there is no official geocode for Mymensingh Division, given that it was created after the latest updates to the geocoding scheme. For this reason, until the 2021 census (or until the geocoding scheme is officially revised, whichever comes first), these should be marked (normally) as being part of Dhaka Division ("30"). A similar policy also applies to the proposed Comilla and Faridpur Divisions with respect to Chittagong ("20") and Dhaka ("30") Divisions respectively should those proposed divisions be created in the meantime. Once one of the aforementioned events occurs, the original code should be marked deprecated and another code added with the revised division number.
  • All other code changes resulting from changes in the district/upazila that contains a union/village should be dated to the specific census in which the code is recorded (unless the changes to the codes themselves are explicitly noted as having occurred between the censuses).
