Description

For respondents who lived in a different residence 5 years before the census, MIGSPUMA5 identifies the location where the respondent lived at that time, in terms of the Migration Super Public Use Microdata Area (Super-PUMA). Additional geographic detail is provided in MIGPUMA5, which identifies the location where the respondent lived 5 years ago in terms of the Migration Public Use Microdata Area (PUMA), typically a smaller geographic area.

See PUMASUPR for further discussion of Super-PUMAs.

See the 2000 Migration PUMAs and Super-PUMAs reference page for a listing of the Super-PUMAs that comprise each Migration Super-PUMA.

Migration Super-PUMA codes are state-dependent, so MIGSPUMA5
must be combined with state codes (see MIGPLAC5) to distinguish Super-PUMAs located in different states.

MIGSPUMA1 provides analogous information for the 2005-2011 ACS and PRCS samples, using a 1-year rather than a 5-year reference period.

MIGSPUMA5 is a 3-digit numeric variable identifying the Migration Super-PUMAs where the respondent lived 5 years ago.

MIGSPUMA5 Specific Variable Codes
000 = N/A (less than 5 years old or lived in same residence 5 years ago)

Comparability

Although MIGSPUMA5 is available only for 2000, this variable is somewhat similar to MIGPUMA5 (in 1990 and in the 5 percent sample of 2000), MIGSEA5 (in 1940), MIGSEA1 (in 1950), and MIGCOGRP5 (in 1980). These other variables identify the place where the respondent lived one year or five years ago, in terms of the Public Use Microdata Area (PUMA), county group (CNTYGP98), or State Economic Area (SEA) of 100,000+ residents.

See also MIGSPUMA1 for analogous information for the 2005-2011 ACS and PRCS samples, using a 1-year rather than a 5-year reference period.
