Thank you David. Your thoughts on a possible approach are very helpful.
I am new to ACS PUMS data, but I think understand the gist of the approach you laid out. I didn't realize that it is possible to create synthetic tract-level data from ACS tables…
Dear Diana,
In general the ACS PUMS data and the data used in the "B", "S", "DP" use the same source data. For top coding the PUMS codebook is a useful place to start. The disclosure avoidance techniques used in ACS tables…
Hello User Group,
I like the ease of using MDAT to access PUMS data. It's a good interface with a lot of user-friendly ways to customize and aggregate microdata. What it does not currently do calculate the RSE of the estimates. I have to rely on R or…
Hi Everyone!
My goal is to find the 2019 mean travel time to work in the USA filtered for ages 20-64. I created a custom table employing the microdata access tool. If anyone could kindly review and confirm the validity of my calculations, it would greatly…

That explains it - thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I am not proficient in PUMS (I need to be). Can I get the 2020 census population via excel or csv format?
Hello Saima, It looks like those estimates are not released for Miami City (https://data.census.gov/cedsci/table?q=B01001D&g=0400000US12.160000&tid=ACSDT1Y2019.B01001D&hidePreview=true). You might have to resort to using the PUMS.
I'm still confused. IPUMS has the code 0 = N/A for not in universe (<16 or haven't worked in last 5 years) and the COW variable has the same classification (coded b). Looking at the data dictionaries, the coding schema appears identical whether…
This table will get you a lot of information on the age 60+ population, but not specifically the data you're after: https://data.census.gov/cedsci/table?q=s0102&tid=ACSST1Y2019.S0102
The vehicles available tables splits for age 65+ so you'll have…
