Public Use Microdata Areas

Additional info: External resources:

Background

Public Use Microdata Areas (PUMAs) are non-overlapping, statistical geographic areas that partition each state or equivalent entity into geographic areas containing no fewer than 100,000 people each. They cover the entirety of the United States, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The Census Bureau defines PUMAs for the tabulation and dissemination of decennial census and American Community Survey (ACS) Public Use Microdata Sample (PUMS) data. Additionally, the ACS and Puerto Rico Community Survey use them to disseminate their respective period estimates.

PUMA boundaries are redrawn after each decade with input from the states through the State Data Centers.

Working with microdata

The ACS and Census microdata allows data users to create custom estimates and tables that are not available through pretabulated data products. Some variable values are grouped in the pretabulated data, but have more detail in the microdata, like income, language spoken at home, etc. The microdata also allows for all kinds of cross-tabulations, within household connections, etc.

There are two websites that allow for custom tabulations and extracts of the microdata:

Guidance on this page

In New York State the PUMAs are delineated within each of the 10 state defined economic regions. These regions are listed on the left and after selecting a region the PUMAs for that region will be presented. The PUMAs in New York City are presented by borough.

The 2020 PUMAs are presented on top of the 2010 PUMAs and a slider enables the viewer to see the differences between the old and the new delineations. Move the slider to the left to see the 2020 map and to the right to see the old 2010 PUMA map.

Under the map is a button to download the 2020 PUMA map in a higher resolution. There is also a table with the 2020 PUMA IDs, the 2020 names and population and housing unit counts from the 2020 Census.
