  • 1.  Limiting Age Range of ACS PUMS in Stata

    Posted 03-09-2018 07:38 AM

    Hi all,

    I am using ACS PUMS microdata files from 2005 to 2016 for research. In Stata, I am trying to limit the age range (20-25). If someone could direct me to the variable I should be using for the svyset command, I would be greatly appreciative.

    Or if anyone has a better idea for a command to do this, please let me know.

    Thank you!

    Best,

    Brooke

    Hi Brooke, I am also starting to use PUMS data and will be analyzing it in STATA. I have not used the ACS before. If you have any tips or code that you would be willing to share I would be forever grateful.
