The American Community Survey (ACS) Public Use Microdata Sample (PUMS) contains a sample of responses to the ACS. The ACS PUMS dataset includes variables for nearly every question on the survey, as well as many new variables that were derived after the fact from multiple survey responses (such as poverty status).Each record in the file represents a single person, or, in the household-level dataset, a single housing unit. In the person-level file, individuals are organized into households, making possible the study of people within the contexts of their families and other household members. Individuals living in Group Quarters, such as nursing facilities or college facilities, are also included on the person file. ACS PUMS data are available at the nation, state, and Public Use Microdata Area (PUMA) levels. PUMAs are special non-overlapping areas that partition each state into contiguous geographic units containing roughly 100,000 people each. ACS PUMS files for an individual year, such as 2019, contain data on approximately one percent of the United States population.

The American Community Survey (ACS) is a nationwide survey designed to provide communities a fresh look at how they are changing. It will replace the decennial long form in future censuses and is a critical element in the Bureau of the Census reengineered 2010 census. The American Community Survey is conducted under the authority of Title 13, United States Code, Sections 141 and 193, and response is mandatory. The scope of the 1997 ACS was limited to housing units, occupied and vacant, in nine sites: (1) Rockland County, New York, (2) Fulton County, Pennsylvania, (3) Multnomah County and the city of Portland, Oregon, (4) Douglas County, Nebraska, (5) Franklin County, Ohio, (6) Harris and Fort Bend Counties (Houston), Texas, (7) Otero County, New Mexico, (8) Broward County, Florida, and (9) Richland and Kershaw Counties, South Carolina. Data from Pennsylvania and New Mexico were not released.

The American Community Survey (ACS) is an ongoing statistical survey that samples a small percentage of the population every year -- giving communities the information they need to plan investments and services. The 5-year public use microdata sample (PUMS) for 2012-2016 is a subset of the 2012-2012 ACS sample. It contains the same sample as the combined PUMS 1-year files for 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016. This data collection provides a person-level subset of 133,781 respondents whose occupations were coded as arts-related in the 2011-2015 ACS PUMS. The 2012-2016 PUMS is the seventh 5-year file published by the ACS. This data collection contains five years of data for the population from households and the group quarters (GQ) population. The GQ population and population from households are all weighted to agree with the ACS counts which are an average over the five year period (2012-2016). The ACS sample was selected from all counties across the nation. The ACS provides social, housing, and economic characteristics for demographic groups covering a broad spectrum of geographic areas in the United States. For a more detailed list of variables of what these categories include please see the decriptions of variables section.

The American Community Survey (ACS) is a part of the Decennial Census Program and is designed to produce critical information about the characteristics of local communities. The ACS publishes social, housing, and economic characteristics for demographic groups covering a broad spectrum of geographic areas in the United States. Every year the ACS supports the release of single-year estimates for geographic areas with populations of 65,000 or more. Demographic variables include sex, age, relationship, households by type, race, and Hispanic origin. Social characteristics variables include school enrollment, educational attainment, marital status, fertility, grandparents caring for children, veteran status, disability status, residence one year ago, place of birth, United States citizenship status, year of entry, world region of birth of foreign born, language spoken at home, and ancestry. Variables focusing on economic characteristics include employment status, commuting to work, occupation, industry, class of worker, income and benefits, and poverty status. Variables focusing on housing characteristics include occupancy, units in structure, year structure was built, number of rooms, number of bedrooms, housing tenure, year householder moved into unit, vehicles available, house heating fuel, utility costs, occupants per room, housing value, and mortgage status. The American Community Survey is conducted under the authority of Title 13, United States Code, Sections 141 and 193, and response is mandatory.

The data comes from the Census Bureau, specifically from their program called American Community Survey(ACS). It's a program to gather resident information. The Bureau enables a sample of the data to the public, called 'Public Use Microdata Sample'. The datasets are divied by state and housing/population.

A nationwide survey that collects information such as age, race, income, commute time to work, home value, veteran status, and other data. Data from the American Community Survey and the Puerto Rico Community Survey were collected during calendar year 2010. Available for geographic areas with populations of 65,000 or more.

American Community Survey (ACS) is an ongoing survey conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau. It uses a series of monthly samples to produce annually updated data on housing, demographic, and economic characteristic of Americans previously included in the decennial census long-form sample. Survey topics include housing costs and amenities, household and family type (including presence of multigenerational households), linguistic isolation, citizenship and ancestry of residents, employment and commuting patterns, education level, demographic characteristics, disability and veteran status, and income and poverty, The public use microdata sample (PUMS) files contain information collected about each person and housing unit. PUMS files are extracts from the confidential microdata that avoid disclosure of information about households or individuals. These extracts cover all of the same characteristics contained in the full microdata sample files. The only geography other than state provided in PUMS files is the public use microdata area (PUMA). PUMAs are special nonoverlapping areas that partition a state, each containing a population of about 100,000.

The American Community Survey (ACS) is a nationwide survey designed to provide communities a fresh look at how they are changing. It will replace the decennial long form in future censuses and is a critical element in the Bureau of the Census' re-engineered 2010 census.

The Application

This application allows comparison of the proposed California 2020 Public Use Microdata Areas (PUMAs) with the 2010 PUMAs. The boundaries for these PUMAs were delineated based on population counts for California counties and tracts from the 2020 Census. The Demographic Research Unit worked with California State Data Center affiliates and regional organizations to ensure that the PUMAs reflect local communities.

For more information, go to the Census Bureau's 2020 Census PUMA program web page.

PUMAs

Public Use Microdata Areas (PUMAs) are non-overlapping, statistical geographic areas that partition each state or equivalent entity into geographic areas containing no fewer than 100,000 people each. They cover the entirety of the United States. The Census Bureau defines PUMAs for the tabulation and dissemination of decennial census and American Community Survey (ACS) Public Use Microdata Sample (PUMS) data. The delineation of new PUMAs occurs after the completion of the decennial census as part of a program involving the State Data Centers (SDCs). The Census Bureau's PUMA web page contains more details about these areas.

Note that the 2020 and 2010 PUMAs may not overlap exactly as 2020 census tracts were changed from the 2010 census.
