Codes and Frequencies
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
