2010 Migration PUMA Definitions
The 2010 definitions of Migration Public Use Microdata Areas (Migration PUMAs) are used in 2012-2021 ACS and PRCS samples to identify where respondents moved from. See the MIGPUMA1 variable description for more information.
The 2005-2011 ACS and PRCS samples use 2000 Migration PUMA definitions. In Multi-Year ACS/PRCS files, PUMA boundaries depend on the year the respondent was interviewed. (See MULTYEAR.) For example, in the 2010-2012 3-year ACS sample, responses from 2010 and 2011 use 2000 definitions of Migration PUMAs, while responses from 2012 use 2010 definitions.
