Dear ACS DUG,
I have posted an early Windows installer for a package that makes tract level synthetic data from PUMS data. It has the feature of being able to merge in the Supplemental Poverty Measure PUMS data files should you want to use variables in that dataset. See dorerfoundation.org/software for more information and a link to the GitHub webpage.
Feedback welcome, The package is an early development version.

A Linux (developed on Ubuntu) installer is also available. You need gcc to compile one C routine.
One more thing,
Nonprofit 501(c)(3) and government entities have access to free support to get the package working (including zoom sessions)

I just posted a 0.7 updated windows installer Wed 20 Dec 2023 at about 11:30 am
The package works with 2022 ACS marginal 5 year tables and 2022 1 year PUMS data. Watch out - the 2022 1 year PUMS data uses the 2022 PUMA FIPS codes which are different from the 2021 FIPS codes. The 2022 5 year PUMS data is due out 24 Jan 2024
The current Supplemental Poverty Measure PUMS data is 1 year 2021 data which merges with the 2021 1 year "regular" PUMS data.
Dear DUG,
I've posted a version 0.8 Windows installer/zip file. It includes functions to compute replicate weights and MoE's for tabulations of synthetic data.
