To reply to the first part of the question, it appears that PUMA level data for the ACS 5-year estimates will continue to use Census 2000 boundaries until the 2008-2012 release.

Subject: [CTPP] 5 Year ACS 06-10 and PUMA
My apology if someone had posted this question before, but I could not find an easy way search in the achieve (http://ryoko.chrispy.net/pipermail/ctpp-news/).
Could somebody reconfirm If 5 year ACS 06-10 is still uses 2000 PUMA boundary/code-number? If yes, then I am curious to know if is there is any plan to sink these data into the new 2010 based PUMA/code.
