In the summer of 2003, the Census Bureau began releasing sampling data for 5-Percent Public Use Microdata Sample (PUMS) Files. PUMS files have state-level Census 2000 data containing individual records of the characteristics for a 5 percent sample of people and housing units. The PUMS files contain geographic units known as super-Public Use Microdata Areas (super-PUMAs) and Public Use Microdata Areas (PUMAs). Each super-PUMA contains a minimum population of 400,000 and each PUMA contains a minimum population threshold of 100,000. For same-sex couples, PUMS include age, ancestry, race, employment and income data, among others. The Census offers documentation here. We have prepared a flash presentation with all the national data here. gaydemographics.org has finished releasing the following states: |
