    About 8 weeks back... US HUD released updated CHAS data based on 2016-2020 ACS 5-year surveys. This is your best bet for obtaining socioec data of households by "percent of AMI" level -- and also comparable housing stock by "percent of AMI" level. …

  • RE: Creating ALICE standards poverty measure for PUMAs

    Erik Beecroft
    Erik Beecroft

    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…

  • Large uptick in "Other" mode usage for commuting between 12am and 1am

    I'm looking into how commute modes change over the course of the day, and one interesting thing I've found is that, in the 2022 ACS PUMS, 18% (weighted) of workers who reported arriving at work between 12am (inclusive) and 1am (exclusive) reported using…

  • TENURE (RENTER/OWNER) ACS TABLES at person level

    David Dorer
    David Dorer

    Does anyone know if there are any 5 year ACS tables with tenure (renter/owner) at the person level rather than the householder level ?  For example if I want to know how many people live in rented housing for a census tract, is there a way to do this?…

  • RE: ACS 5 year data IPUMS Class of worker variable 0 value allocation

    Rebecca Tippett
    Rebecca Tippett

    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…

    David Drozd

    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…

    Robin DiSalvo
    Robin DiSalvo

    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?

  • RE: Households at or below 200% FPL

    David Dorer
    David Dorer

    Dear Adam,

    To comment on Glenn's comment. I've just been through a round with the people at the Census on reconciling "below poverty" from the PUMS with "below poverty" for table B17001.  Poverty is not defined for households…
