2020 Public Use Microdata Areas (PUMAs)
  -- 2,487 statistical areas covering the U.S. (50 states & D.C.)
  -- developing and using custom demographic estimates
  -- expanding insights through data analytics

October 2024 .. .. this section is about the 2020 Public Use Microdata Areas (PUMAs) .. what they are, why they are important and how they can be used. The 2,487 2020 PUMAa are geographic areas generally with a minimum population of 100,000 and comprised of a set of contiguous 2020 census tracts covering the U.S. wall-to-wall.

PUMAs are a statistical geography defined by the Census Bureau. The "2020 PUMA geography" are static tabulation areas for the period 2022 through 2031. American Community Survey 1-year estimates are tabulated annually starting with the ACS 2022 program year.
PUMAs are important for many reasons:
  • their static geography during the 2020s lend this geography for use in time series analysis.
  • they are comprised of nested census tracts, providing analytical value.
      attributes of census tracts can be aggregated to PUMAs.
  • they are a good drill-down geography for larger counties.
      for example, Los Angeles County is compsrised or 72 2020 PUMAs.
  • PUMAs provide the geography for which custom estimates can be developed using PUMS files.
  • their geographic definition uses local area participation; making PUMAs relevant to regional analysis.
  • ACS 1-year annual estimates provide time series demographics with less than a 1-year lag.
  • they are the geographically smallest tabulation areas covering the U.S. wall-to-wall
      for which annual demographics are available.

Using 2020 PUMAs with ACS Public Use Microdata Samples .. goto top
The American Community Survey (ACS) Public Use Microdata Sample (PUMS) files enable users to create custom estimates and tables that are not available through ACS pretabulated data. The ACS PUMS files are a set of records from individual people or housing units, with disclosure protection enabled so that individuals or housing units cannot be identified.

This section will be updated with release of ACS 2023 1-year PUMS .. release date 10/17/24.
