(1) To approximate weighted frequencies given by the original 1-Percent PUMS, users should multiply the weight variables, HOUSWGT and PWGT1, by 100. (2) This dataset has the same hierarchical structure as the original 1-Percent PUMS. There is a separate record type for each of the two levels in the hierarchy: the housing level is represented by a housing record comprising 112 housing variables, the person level by a person record comprising 123 person variables. (These variable counts do not include the housing serial number, SERIALNO, and the variable denoting the record type, RECTYPE. These two variables appear on both the housing and person records.) Each occupied housing unit is represented by a single housing record followed by one or more person records, one for each person in the household. Housing records representing vacant housing units are not followed by any person records. Each person residing in group quarters is represented by a housing record followed by a person record. In all, this dataset contains 36,179 records: 11,074 housing records and 25,105 person records. Every housing and person record has a logical record length of 231. (3) Appendix G of the codebook (PUMS maps) is available only in hard copy form upon request from ICPSR. (4) Code 5, which denotes this 1/10,000 sample, has been added to the variable SAMPLE.

The 1-in-10,000 sample, extracted from the 1-Percent PUMS by ICPSR using a systematic selection procedure, contains all housing records in the 1-Percent PUMS coded 16 for the subsample variable, SUBSAMPL, plus all person records associated with these housing records. The number 16 was randomly chosen among the 100 possible codes for SUBSAMPL, 00 to 99. (See Chapter 4 of the codebook for an explanation of how SUBSAMPL may be used to select PUMS subsamples.) The 1-Percent PUMS, derived from responses to the 1990 Census long-form questionnaire, is a 1-percent stratified sample of persons and housing units enumerated in the 1990 Census (housing units and their occupants, vacant housing units, and persons in group quarters). The long-form questionnaire was administered to approximately 15.9 percent of households counted by the Census.

1993-10-11 ICPSR data undergo a confidentiality review and are altered when necessary to limit the risk of disclosure. ICPSR also routinely creates ready-to-go data files along with setups in the major statistical software formats as well as standard codebooks to accompany the data. In addition to these procedures, ICPSR performed the following processing steps for this data collection:
