I recently downloaded the 2023 5-year ACS data from IPUMS and noticed that the variable PWCOUNTY (county of work) seems to have all zero values for cases in New York State. I double-checked my extract and my R code, and this issue appears to be with the data itself rather than how I’m processing it.
Would you mind taking a look to confirm whether this is a data issue on your end?
Thanks!
Thank you for your message. We are aware of this issue that affects MIGCOUNTY1 and PWCOUNTY in the 2023 5-year sample. We are working on adding this data and plan to have it available for download soon. Once the fix has been noted on our revision history page, please resubmit your extract to download the new data.
Do you have a timeline for when the PWCOUNTY will be updated?
We hope to have the revised data up during this week.
I just checked the revision history page, and there is still no update regarding the PW COUNTY variable. Does this mean it’s currently under revision?
Revised versions of PWCOUNTY and MIGCOUNTY1 have been released for the 2023 ACS/PRCS 5-year sample.
Thank you so much!
