• Harmonizing Geographic U.S. Census Data Across Time: Resources from IPUMS NHGISThursday, May 7; 6:30-7:30pm | Marriott St. Louis Grand – Room L1

  This session will introduce participants to two resources from IPUMS NHGIS for investigating change across time in geographic areas. Time series tables link together comparable summary statistics from multiple years for several geographic levels, down to census tracts and block groups. Geographic crosswalks support the allocation of data from one year’s geographic units to another’s, allowing analysts to construct geographically standardized data from 1990 through 2024 for a wide range of subjects and levels.

• The Future of DHS: Supplemental and Alternative Data SourcesFriday, May 8; 6:00-7:30pm | Marriott St. Louis Grand – Room L6

  Learn about the current status and future prospects for the IPUMS Demographic and Health Surveys, and hear about research opportunities using the IPUMS DHS and other international data from IPUMS, including contextual population and agricultural census data from IPUMS IHGIS (which can be easily linked to IPUMS DHS data) and other resources for combining global microdata from IPUMS DHS, IPUMS MICS, and IPUMS International.
