Most IPUMS data transformations are performed using variable harmonization tables that specify how each value in the source data is recoded. Some variables also require programming logic in addition to the harmonization table. The harmonization documents for this variable are:
- Harmonization table
- No supplemental programming
- Instructions for interpreting harmonization documents
Description
MIGPUMA indicates the person's Migration PUMA of residence 5 years ago within the United States.
A Migration PUMA may correspond to either one or multiple PUMAs, so the codes and extents for PUMAs of residence 5 year ago (in MIGPUMA) and the PUMA (in GEO2_US) of current residence will differ.
See the Geography and GIS page of IPUMS USA for greater details on Migration PUMA definitions, maps, and relationships to PUMAs
