Trouble locating the PUMAs for our region in the ACS PUMS .csv for housing/IL

  • 1.  Trouble locating the PUMAs for our region in the ACS PUMS .csv for housing/IL

    Posted 01-02-2025 01:49 PM

    I am trying to access aggregate data on our PUMAs (00701 and 20101), covering Boone and Winnebago Counties in Northern Illinois. I have downloaded the 2022 5 Year PUMS data (csv_hil.zip) from the link https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/data/pums/2022/5-Year/.

    Upon reading the PUMS documentation, I was led to believe that I should be able to locate PUMA data, but when searching for those PUMA IDs in the CSV, there were no results.

    Am I supposed to use a different geo ID?
