The documentation below is provided in support of the American Community Survey PUMS data.
A list of topics included in each of the housing and population record files
Detailed codes for variables that contain a large number of coded responses, such as ancestry and occupation
List of variables with responses exceeding a state-specific value that are replaced with a predetermined value
Includes variables available for each PUMS release and how each variable is coded
A basic explanation of the sample design, estimation methodology, and accuracy of the data
Available on October 25, 2012
Estimates for selected characteristics provided to assist data users in determining if they are correctly using the weights to compute estimates
Note that some of these estimates may be different from the estimates for the same characteristics published in the American FactFinder. For an explanation of these differences, see the Accuracy of the PUMS above.
