  • 1.  PUMA Code/Names Table for 2000 Census

    Posted 02-07-2022 06:35 PM

    I have written a code-label transformation script in python. One of the code tables is for PUMA with extensions for MIGPUMA, POWPUMA super-PUMAs.

    The code tables work for the 2010 Census PUMAs, so I can process PUMAs for ACS years 2012 forward.

    The code tables were built using the PUMA-related PDFs and spreadsheets published by the Census.

    I am looking for PUMA Code/Name documentation for the 2000 Census PUMAS so I can process PUMAS for years prior to 2012.

    I have found the Census 2000 Public Use Microdata Area (PUMAs) Maps.

    Does anyone know of a list of PUMAS (2000 Census) to names similar to the PUMA names documentation that are published for the 2010 Census PUMAs.

    Thanks in advance.

    PUMA names were a new feature of 2010 PUMA definitions. Some explanation is provided in the 2010 guidelines here. Previous vintages are identified only by their codes.
