Census 2000 Super-Public Use Microdata Area (PUMA) Map 
Census 2000 Public Use Microdata Area (PUMA) Map Sample

INTRODUCTION

There are two map series that support Census 2000 Public use Microdata Samples (PUMS) data; the 1-percent Census 2000 Super-Public Use Microdata Area (PUMA) maps and the 5-percent Census 2000 Public Use Microdata Area (PUMA) maps. These page size maps will be in Adobe's Portable Document Format (PDF) on the product CD-ROM and also online through the Census Bureau's American FactFinder.

MAP DESCRIPTIONS

Census 2000 Super-Public Use Microdata Area (PUMA) Maps

Super-PUMAs (1-percent sample) comprise areas of at least 400,000 people and are aggregations of the smaller 5-percent Public Use Microdata Areas.  These page size state-based maps depict Super-PUMA boundaries and codes, state boundaries, and county boundaries and names.  (See Figure F-1.)  Inset maps are used when the Super-PUMA boundaries and codes cannot be displayed clearly on the page size state-bsed map.  In that case, the area to be inset is shaded on the state map and the Super-PUMA detail is suppressed to avoid confusion.  The corresponding inset area map containing the associated Super-PUMA detail is displayed either on the same page with the state-based map or on a separate, succeeding page.

Census 2000 Public Use Microdata Area (PUMA) Maps

These page-size Super-PUMA based maps display the boundaries and codes of the component 5-percent sample Public Use Microdata Areas (PUMAs) within the Super-PUMA.  Additionally, the maps show county boundaries and names along with census tract boundaries within the boundary of the subject Super-PUMA.  Some surrounding fringe area is included as a shaded gray area for orientation purposes.  This fringe area includes international, state and county boundaries and names, as well as the neighboring Super-PUMA boundaries and codes.  No census tract boundary information is shown in the fringe area of the map.  (See Figure F-2.)
