Re: [CTPP] Census 2010 data available at the new PUMA level?

Hi, Chuck - congrats on the retirement! Totally jealous! The word we have received is that the new 2010 PUMAs will be in the 2012 ACS data files to be released later this year. That is the same time we should get the data for the new urban areas. As for the 2010 Census PUMS that is supposed to be coming out now "March 2013-June 2013" but I haven't seen anything. I can provide the 2010 census tract to the new PUMA crosswalk if that will be helpful? I'll follow-up with the Census Bureau to see if I can get an update.

Hello all: I have a question on the availability of Census 2010 (short form) data. Hopefully someone on the list, or Census Bureau staff, can enlighten me. I need Census 2010 "short form" data at the new, 2010 PUMA level. I can't seem to find that geographic summary level (PUMA) (for decennial 2010) on the American Factfinder site. It appears that the new 2010 PUMAs are indeed included in the "2012 TIGER" files, but the schedule is a "to be determined" in terms of incorporating the new PUMAs with the decennial and ACS data products... (see: http://www.census.gov/geo/reference/puma_schedule.html) (I'm also trying to figure out what's a "Decennial (2010) PUMS file" ....) Should I wait for the 2010 PUMAs to be integrated into the American Factfinder? Or, should I get the tract-level data and aggregate the data using tract-PUMA equivalency files and statistical software? I think the answer will be to get the tract data, and aggregate to PUMA.... Thanks in advance Chuck Purvis Hayward, CA PS. I'm just a retired regional transportation planner doing some new work for my old company. Retirement is great!
