*New* IPUMS Data

Posted: 4/26/2024 ()

IPUMS released new data and updated several datasets, including IPUMS International, IPUMS CPS, and IPUMS USA. There are also several opportunities to give feedback, including on proposed changes to the American Community Survey and Puerto Rico Community Survey. Read more in the full story!

IPUMS INTERNATIONAL
IPUMS International released eighteen new integrated census samples. Cambodia (2019), Côte d’Ivoire (1988, 1998), Laos (1995, 2015), Mexico (2020), Peru (2017), Switzerland (2011), Vietnam (2019), United Kingdom (1961, 1971), Puerto Rico (2015, 2020), United States (2015, 2020) and historical samples from Denmark (1845, 1880, and 1885) were added to the data series. Côte d’Ivoire is a new country to IPUMS. Other samples extend pre-existing series for those countries.

IPUMS International also now provides access to data from the MOSAIC project. MOSAIC was developed by a team of historical demographers and includes 39 decentralized census datasets from areas of Europe. While not integrated into IPUMS International, most datasets have harmonized variable coding schemes that are compatible with other historical datasets in IPUMS International.

IPUMS CPS
IPUMS CPS has released the March 2024 Basic Monthly Survey data as well as the telework variables for January and February 2024.

IPUMS USA
The IPUMS Multigenerational Longitudinal Panel (MLP) has released updated linkages in crosswalk form; future releases will incorporate these into the IPUMS USA extract system. New linkages include multi-decade links for 20- and 30-year census pairs; links between 1920 & 1950, 1930 & 1950, and 1940 & 1950; and crosswalks between census records and the Social Security Numident files.

A Federal Register Notice is open through Thursday, April 25 for the final round of public feedback on proposed changes to the 2025 American Community Survey and Puerto Rico Community Survey. Changes cover household roster, educational attainment, health insurance coverage, and labor force questions as well as three new questions on solar panels, electric vehicles, and sewage disposal.

IPUMS HEALTH SURVEYS
The National Center for Health Statistics, the original NHIS provider, is asking for stories about real-world impacts of NHIS data to share with respondents and decision makers about the value and utility of NHIS data. Think about how your research has been used to help or prevent harm and why NHIS data were essential to this work. Send your NHIS story to JWeiner@hagersharp.com by May 7.
