MIGPUMA5
Migration PUMA of residence 5 years ago

Description

For respondents who lived in a different residence 5 years before the census, MIGPUMA5 identifies the location where the respondent lived at that time, in terms of the Migration Public Use Microdata Area (PUMA) of 100,000+ residents.

Migration PUMA codes are state-dependent, so MIGPUMA5 must be combined with state codes (see MIGPLAC5) to distinguish Migration PUMAs located in different states.

A Migration PUMA may correspond to either one or multiple PUMAs.

In 1990, MIGPUMA5 codes correspond to the first 3 digits of the 5-digit PUMA codes. Any 1990 PUMAs whose codes differ only in the 4th or 5th digits correspond to a single, common 1990 Migration PUMA.

For a listing of the 2000 PUMAs that comprise each 2000 Migration PUMA or for GIS boundary files representing 2000 Migration PUMAs, see the 2000 Migration PUMAs and Super-PUMAs reference page.

MIGPUMA1 provides analogous information for 2005 and later ACS and PRCS samples, using a 1-year rather than a 5-year reference period.
