2003 PUMS Top Coded Values

The following eleven housing variables and seven person variables are topcoded in the Public Use Microdata Sample files:

Housing Variables Person Variables
  • Electricity (monthly cost) - ELEP
  • Gas (monthly cost) - GASP
  • Water (yearly cost) - WATP
  • House Heating fuel (yearly cost) - FULP
  • Condo fee (monthly amount) - CONP
  • Monthly rent - RNTP
  • Property taxes (yearly amount) - TAXP
  • Fire/hazard/flood insurance (yearly amount) - INSP
  • Mortgage payment (monthly amount) - MRGP
  • Second mortgage payment (monthly amount) - SMP
  • Mobile home costs (yearly amount) - MHP
  • Wages or salary income last year - WAGP
  • Self-employment income last year (signed) - SEMP
  • Interest, dividends, and net rental income last year (signed) - INTP
  • Retirement income last year - RETP
  • All other income last year - OIP
  • Age - AGEP
  • Journey to Work (In Minutes) - JWMNP

The tables below show the topcode values for each of these variable by states. These topcodes were derived based on the following rules:

  1. Age, minutes to work, and all base dollar amounts are topcoded using the state mean of all cases greater than or equal to the topcode state minimum value. The only exception to the top-code state minimum value is TAXP which uses the top-code national minimum value.
  2. The maximum bottom-coding value for all component income dollar amounts which can be negative is $10,000.
  3. Recodes of dollar amounts use the rounded top-coded or bottom-coded base dollar amounts without any additional top-coding or bottom-coding.
  4. Top-coded Property taxes are further assigned to one of 68 categories.
  5. Topcodes for the 2003 PUMS have changed to state-based with the exception of TAXP.
