MLP Crosswalk Files

Data files

The MLP crosswalks contain IDs that link persons between census years and a variable (ROUND) that identifies the stage of the linking process under which the link was made. The files are intended for use with IPUMS data extracts. See the user guide.

The crosswalk files listed above are Version 1.1, released March 2023. The Version 1.0 crosswalk files (September 2020) are available here.
