IPUMS-USA consists of thirty-nine high-precision samples of the American population drawn from every surviving census from 1850-2000 and from the American Community Surveys of 2000-2006. The IPUMS assigns uniform codes across all the samples and brings relevant documentation into a coherent form to facilitate analysis of social and economic change.
