I'm somewhat new to using the data, and I'm not familiar with the imputation flag variables. I'll be reading the data accuracy file, but so far, I've just worked through the dictionary: https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/tech_docs…
Are Egyptians included in an ACS PUMS population estimate grouped as North African or as Middle Eastern?
