The recently concluded U.S. federal government shutdown impacted CPS data collection and release timelines. Once the September 2025 monthly data are available, we will process and release them as quickly as possible via IPUMS.
Description
MSA or PMSA FIPS code - 1989-1997
Unicon Corporation made the following notes about this variable:
In June-August, 1995 hhid was being changed to the new format. The Census deliberately presented only a 5 digit ID in these months to make it impossible to identify individuals. Most geographic identifiers were also set to '-1' to insure confidentiality. Records in these 3 months cannot be matched to other months.
