2012 was the first year that PUMA 2010 was used. So… the short answer to your question is yes, PUMA 2000 was used in ACS 2010 PUMS. For document support, I use the following from the California State Census Data Center.

Hello everyone,

Can someone help to answer the question, “Is it PUMA 2000 used in ACS2010 PUMS? ” or “Is it PUMA2010 used in ACS2010 PUMS?” I believe it is PUMA2000. However, I need to find document support.
