applying a rural/urban classification to ACS PUMA 1% files

Samara S. over 5 years ago

I'm looking for a strategy to describe the urban/rural character of PUMAs in the yearly ACS file. The USDA classification of rurality uses county boundaries and some PUMAs combine counties of different rural characters. I would be interested in any meaningful ways to describe the rurality or population density of a PUMA.

Both tracts and PUMAs follow state lines. PUMAs are numbered within states, so you have to look at the state code first, and then the PUMA ID. The same PUMA ID can and does appear in more than one state.
