PCTMETRO is a 5-digit numeric variable with 2 implied decimals.
Comparability
PUMA and CBSA delineations change with each decennial census. For 2022-onward ACS samples, PCTMETRO is based on 2020 PUMA definitions and 2023 CBSA delineations of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). For the 2010 10% and 2012-2021 ACS samples, it is based on 2010 PUMA definitions and 2013 CBSA delineations.
In multi-year ACS/PRCS samples that span different PUMA definitions, this variable is based on whichever PUMA definition is associated with the respondent's survey year (as given by MULTYEAR). This occurs only in the 2022 5-year samples and in multi-year samples that include both 2011 and 2012 survey years. For more information about how PUMA definitions vary within multi-year samples, see the PUMA variable description.
