Variables in PUMS

Jane Kil over 8 years ago

Hi all,

I'm new to the ACS group/forum and am hoping this is the most appropriate place for this question. I am interested in the variable "HHT" (household/family type). It is listed in the data dictionary, but is not available in the PUMS for the California files (1, 3, nor 5 year files). Does anyone know how I can get quick access to a missing variable such as HHT at the state level?

Thanks,
Jane

There are 2 PUMS files, one Household file (one record per housing unit) and a population file (one record per person). The HHT variable is in the Household file. You need to download the housing file and merge to the population file.
