  • 1.  Obtaining ACS 2015-2019 PUMS replicate weights

    Posted 04-13-2022 03:42 PM

    Can someone please tell where to obtain 2015-2019 ACS PUMS replicate weights. I do not see the option of obtaining the replicate weights in the data.census.gov micro data. And I do not know how to use the FTP files. Do one or more of them contain the 80 replicate weights that go with the ACS PUMS? Thank you.

    I do see the weights in each individual person and state ftp file. But is there a place to obtain them as one data file, without having to go through each state person ftp file? Thank you.

    IPUMS USA (usa.ipums.org) offers harmonized versions of decennial census and ACS PUMS data. You can include multiple samples and select only the variables of interest to include in a customized data file. Here is the link to the person-level replicate weights variable (REPWTP); note that this single variable will actually add all 80 replicate weights to your data extract.

    Yes, within the state files there's both a housing file and a person file right in between TX and UT called US: this is the national zip folder. The exact file names are csv_pus.zip (person) and csv_hus.zip (housing).

    Here's where I got the PUMS files:
