ACS Data Users Group

I want to do some analysis using the recently released microdata based on whether the household is urban or rural, but there doesn't seem to be anything in the population or housing files that would allow me to classify the household. Has anyone tried to do this type of analysis? What did you use to classify the household and/or PUMA as rural vs urban?

Thanks in advance

I haven't tried this myself but here are some other groups that have used PUMAs to look at rural/urban differences:
