		Access and Analysis of Bolivian Census Microdata // Programmatic
		access to the microdata of the Bolivian population and housing
		censuses of 1976, 1992, 2001, 2012 and 2024, published by the
		National Statistics Institute of Bolivia (INE,
		https://www.ine.gob.bo/). Data files in Apache Parquet format
		are downloaded on demand from a companion data repository,
		cached locally, and can be filtered by department, province or
		municipality. Supports 'dplyr' workflows through Apache Arrow
		and SQL queries through 'DuckDB'. Includes variable
		dictionaries for every census year with a thematic taxonomy and
		contextual metadata (reference population, questionnaire item
		number and provenance of each variable), derived from the
		census questionnaires and from the Data Documentation
		Initiative (DDI) files of the INE ANDA catalogue; functions to
		harmonise variables across censuses for temporal comparison;
		and choropleth maps at the department and municipality level.
		Also includes the 2024 census aggregates for urban blocks and
		rural communities, with their geometries. Documentation and
		messages are in Spanish, the language of the source data.
