Provides information on the level of response a person provided to the 'place of usual residence' question. Some people may provide an incomplete address of usual residence, and this flag indicates the geographic level at which imputation was then required.
This variable can also be used to flag instances where people did not select an answer to the mark box question from which Usual Address Indicator Census night (UAICP) is coded, but it was possible to derive this indicator. For example, if a person was enumerated in Victoria and they did not mark an answer to the UAICP indicator question but provided a Tasmanian place of usual residence in the address field for that question then UAICP is derived to 'Elsewhere in Australia'.
