Elwood Authors Paper on Digital and Emplaced Struggles over Urban Homelessness
CSDE Affiliate Sarah Elwood (Geography) published a new article in Digital Geography and Society, titled, “Computational urbanisms & insurgent mediations of the city: Stop the Sweeps.” Elwood theorizes municipal systems of tent encampment removal as a form of administrative-algorithmic governance structured around the logics and practices of computation urbanism and trace their entanglements with liberal poverty governance. Through a close reading of the City of Seattle’s encampment removal system, Elwood shows how these overlapping logics enable a tightly integrated self-referential system of datafication, problematization and justification that overdetermines the removability of encampments and reaffirms property and propertied personhood as (the only) legitimate basis for claims to space and permanence.

IPUMS Data Update: MET2023 and MEPS
IPUMS USA
IPUMS USA has extended MET2023, which identifies 2023 metropolitan areas, to the 2012-2021 ACS/PRCS samples. A new variable, METPOP20, reports the 2020 population of 2023 metropolitan and micropolitan areas. We have also made several revisions, including capturing additional multigenerational households in MULTGEN and expanding the property tax and utility cost variables (PROPTX99, PROPINSR, COSTGAS, COSTFUEL, COSTWATR) to ensure that IPUMS top codes match Census Bureau top codes.
IPUMS HEALTH SURVEYS
IPUMS MEPS now offers data from the 2023 MEPS sample. This release includes 1,100 variables from the Full Year Consolidated, Condition, Event, Prescribed Medicine, Appendix to the Event, and Pooled Variance files. New variables added with this release include information about COVID and Long COVID at the round level.
