MIGPUMANOW
Migration PUMA of residence, now
Return to Migration variables list

Description

MIGPUMANOW is a constructed variable that indicates the Migration PUMA in which an individual currently resides. For more information on relationships between PUMAs and Migration PUMAs, see the 2000 Migration PUMAs and Super-PUMAs reference page.

Note that MIGPUMANOW, like PUMA, is state-dependent. The codes must be read in combination with one of the STATE variables (STATEFIP or STATEICP).

Note Regarding Multi-Year Samples: The Census Bureau redraws PUMA boundaries every 10 years based on population information gathered from the most recent decennial census. ACS samples incorporate the new PUMAs within a few years of the Decennial Census. When PUMA definitions change so do MIGPUMANOW definitions. See the comparability statement to see which MIGPUMANOW definitions are used in each sample. 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.
