From NHGIS - new geographic crosswalks for flexible linkages of 1990-2022 data using consistent boundaries
Pettit, Kathryn
Sharing good data news from Linked In from NHGIS..,,
Some big news for those who struggle with boundary changes in U.S. census data... NHGIS recently released a broad update to the IPUMS NHGIS geographic
crosswalks, filling out our collection to enable more flexible, high-quality linkages of 1990-2022 data using consistent geography.
Updates include:
* New crosswalks from tracts to tracts and from blocks to larger areas for 1990-2020 census geographies
* Extensions to 2000 crosswalks to include Puerto Rico
* A broader set of interpolation weights including separate weights for owner- and renter-occupied units
* Standardized naming, formats, and documentation for all crosswalks
The crosswalks, along with extensive guidance, are here:
