A detailed explanation of how this dataset was put together, including data sources and methodologies, follows below.Please see the "Terms of Use" section below for the Data DictionaryDATA ACQUISITION AND CLEANING PROCESSThis dataset was built from 5 separate datasets queried during the months of April and May 2023 from the Census Microdata System (link below):https://data.census.gov/mdat/#/All datasets include information on Property Value (VALP) by: Educational Attainment (SCHL), Gender (SEX), a specified race or ethnicity (RAC or HISP), and are grouped by Public Use Microdata Areas (PUMAS). PUMAS are geographic areas created by the Census bureau; they are weighted by land area and population to facilitate data analysis. Data also Included totals for the state of New Mexico, so 19 total geographies are represented. Datasets were downloaded separately by race and ethnicity because this was the only way to obtain the VALP, SCHL, and SEX variables intersectionally with race or ethnicity data. Datasets were downloaded separately by race and ethnicity because this was the only way to obtain the VALP, SCHL, and SEX variables intersectionally with race or ethnicity data. Cleaning each dataset started with recoding the SCHL and HISP variables - details on recoding can be found below.After recoding, each dataset was transposed so that PUMAS were rows and SCHL, VALP, SEX, and Race or Ethnicity variables were the columns.Median values were calculated in every case that recoding was necessary. As a result, all Property Values in this dataset reflect median values.At times the ACS data downloaded with zeros instead of the 'null' values in initial query results. The VALP variable also included a "-1" variable to reflect N/A values (details in variable notes). Both zeros and "-1" values were removed before calculating median values, both to keep the data true to the original query and to generate accurate median values.Recoding the SCHL variable resulted in 5 rows for each PUMA, reflecting the different levels of educational attainment in each region. Columns grouped variables by race or ethnicity and gender. Cell values were property values.All 5 datasets were joined after recoding and cleaning the data. Original datasets all include 95 rows with 5 separate Educational Attainment variables for each PUMA, including New Mexico State totals.Because 1 row was needed for each PUMA in order to map this data, the data was split by Educational Attainment (SCHL), resulting in 110 columns reflecting median property values for each race or ethnicity by gender and level of educational attainment.A short, unique 2 to 5 letter alias was created for each PUMA area in anticipation of needing a unique identifier to join the data with. GIS AND MAPPING PROCESSA PUMA shapefile was downloaded from the ACS site. The Shapefile can be downloaded here: https://tigerweb.geo.census.gov/arcgis/rest/services/TIGERweb/PUMA_TAD_TAZ_UGA_ZCTA/MapServerThe DBF from the PUMA shapefile was exported to Excel; this shapefile data included needed geographic information for mapping such as: GEOID, PUMACE. The UIDs created for each PUMA were added to the shapefile data; the PUMA shapfile data and ACS data were then joined on UID in JMP.The data table was joined to the shapefile in ARC GiIS, based on PUMA region (specifically GEOID text).The resulting shapefile was exported as a GDB (geodatabase) in order to keep 'Null' values in the data. GDBs are capable of including a rule allowing null values where shapefiles are not. This GDB was uploaded to NMCDCs Arc Gis platform. SYSTEMS USEDMS Excel was used for data cleaning, recoding, and deriving values. Recoding was done directly in the Microdata system when possible - but because the system is was in beta at the time of use some features were not functional at times.JMP was used to transpose, join, and split data. ARC GIS Desktop was used to create the shapefile uploaded to NMCDC's online platform. VARIABLE AND RECODING NOTESTIMEFRAME: Data was queried for the 5 year period of 2015 to 2019 because ACS changed its definiton for and methods of collecting data on race and ethinicity in 2020. The change resulted in greater aggregation and les granular data on variables from 2020 onward.Note: All Race Data reflects that respondants identified as the specified race alone or in combination with one or more other races.VARIABLE:ACS VARIABLE DEFINITIONACS VARIABLE NOTESDETAILS OR URL FOR RAW DATA DOWNLOADRACBLKBlack or African American ACS Query: RACBLK, SCHL, SEX, VALP 2019 5yrRACAIANAmerican Indian and Alaska Native ACS Query: RACAIAN, SCHL, SEX, VALP 2019 5yrRACASNAsian ACS Query: RACASN, SCHL, SEX, VALP 2019 5yrRACWHTWhite ACS Query: RACWHT, SCHL, SEX, VALP 2019 5yrHISPHispanic Origin ACS Query: HISP ORG, SCHL, SEX, VALP 2019 5yrHISP RECODE: 24 original separate variablesThe Hispanic Origin (HISP) variable originally included 24 subcategories reflecting Mexican, Central American, South American, and Caribbean Latino, and Spanish identities from each Latin American counry. 7 recoded VariablesThese 24 variables were recoded (grouped) into 7 simpler categories for data analysis: Not Spanish/Hispanic/Latino, Mexican, Caribbean Latino, Central American, South American, Spaniard, All other Spanish/Hispanic/Latino Female.

The Public Use Microdata Samples (PUMS) from the 1980 Census contain individual-level and household-level information from the "long-form" questionnaires distributed to a sample of the population enumerated in the Census. For PUMS-D, which is a one percent sample, a unique geographic scheme was employed in which counties are grouped into labor market areas. While the A, B, and C PUMS files are hierarchical in structure and contain two types of records ("household" and "person" records), the PUMS-D file has been rectangularized, with information from the household records added at the beginning of each corresponding person record. All standard PUMS variables are provided in this file, including (1)housing information such as year structure was built, plumbing facilities, heating equipment, fuel used, vehicles available, mortgage, rent, and taxes, and (2)person information such as demographic characteristics, schooling, occupation, place of work, transportation to work, and income.

Abstract (en): The Public Use Microdata Samples (PUMS) contain person- and household-level information from the "long-form" questionnaires distributed to a sample of the population enumerated in the 1980 Census. The B Sample containing 1-percent data, consists of a file for each state and an additional file for households and persons residing in metropolitan areas that are too small to be separately identified and/or that cross state boundaries. The B Sample defines Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas (SMSAs) and county groups differently than in the A Sample [CENSUS OF POPULATION AND HOUSING, 1980 [UNITED STATES]: PUBLIC USE MICRODATA SAMPLE (A SAMPLE): 5-PERCENT SAMPLE (ICPSR 8101)]. Most states cannot be identified in their entirety. Household-level variables include housing tenure, year structure was built, number and types of rooms in dwelling, plumbing facilities, heating equipment, taxes and mortgage costs, number of children, and household and family income. The person record, in addition to containing demographic items such as sex, age, marital status, race, Spanish origin, income, occupation, transportation to work, and education. All persons and housing units in the United States. The B Sample is a stratified sample of households that received the "long-form" questionnaire in the 1980 Census. It comprises 1 percent of all households enumerated in the Census. 2006-01-12 All files were removed from dataset 81 and flagged as study-level files, so that they will accompany all downloads.2006-01-12 All files were removed from dataset 80 and flagged as study-level files, so that they will accompany all downloads.2006-01-12 All files were removed from dataset 81 and flagged as study-level files, so that they will accompany all downloads.2006-01-12 All files were removed from dataset 80 and flagged as study-level files, so that they will accompany all downloads.

Animals’ fear of people is widespread across taxa and can mitigate the risk of human-induced mortality, facilitating coexistence in human-dominated landscapes. However, humans can be unpredictable predators and anthropogenic cues that animals perceive may not be reliable indicators of the risk of being killed. In these cases, animal fear responses may be ineffective and may even exacerbate the risk of anthropogenic mortality. Here, we explore these questions using a 10-year dataset of movement and mortality events for the puma (Puma concolor) population in the fragmented Santa Cruz Mountains of California, for whom the leading cause of death was retaliatory killings by people following livestock loss. We modeled retaliatory killing risk and puma habitat selection relative to residential housing density to evaluate whether puma avoidance of human cues reflected their risk of being killed. We documented a mismatch between human cues, fear responses, and actual risk. Rather than scaling directly with housing density, retaliatory killings occurred at intermediate levels of human development and at night. Pumas avoided these areas during the day but selected for these high-risk areas at night, resulting in a mismatch between cue and risk impacting 17% of the study area. These results are unlikely to be driven by puma hunting behavior: livestock constitute a very small proportion of puma diets, and we found no evidence for the alternative hypothesis that state-dependent foraging drove depredation of livestock and subsequent retaliatory killings. Our findings indicate that puma responses to human cues are not sufficient to enable human-carnivore coexistence in this area and suggest that reducing risk from humans in places with few perceptible human cues would facilitate carnivore conservation in human-dominated landscapes. Furthermore, a mismatch between human cues and responses by carnivores can lead to selection rather than avoidance of risky areas, which could result in an ecological trap. Methods We captured adult and subadult pumas from 2009-2019 and fit pumas with GPS collars set to record a GPS location every 4 hours. For animals that died during the study, we recorded date, location, and cause of death. We 1) modeled overall and cause-specific mortality rates using the Kaplan-Meier procedure and non-parametric cumulative incidence functions, 2) modeled habitat selection using step selection functions, 3) modeled spatial predictors of the distribution of sites where retaliatory killings occurred, and 4) compared time since last predicted deer kill and body weights between animals killed after depredating livestock and the overall puma population. Included in this data product are the time-to-event data (tte_cause.csv) for analysis 1, covariate information for 4-hour puma locations (ssf_data.csv) for analysis 2, covariate information for locations of retaliatory killings (rk_rsf_data.csv) and other sources of mortality (other_mort_rsf_data.csv) for analysis 3, body weight data (body_weight_data.csv) and kill rate data (times_since_last_kill.csv and kill_rates.csv) for analysis 4.
