Trouble with pwpuma00 codes for the 2015 5 year ACS

I must be missing something. I downloaded a set with the pwpuma00 variable for the 2015 5 year acs for New Jersey. The codes that were in the dataset I picked do not match those on lists posted online here:

https://www.census.gov/geo/maps-data/…

As an example, the code 100 appears in the dataset, but I can find no reference to a 100 for New Jersey anywhere. I must be looking at the wrong list, but it is the only one I can find.

Thanks

The place of work PUMA codes are a bit different than the place of current residence PUMA codes. In most cases the two are identical, but in some cases multiple PUMAs combined to form a larger area for the place of work. There are several links at the bottom of the Code Tab for PWPUMA00 that clarify the relationship between PWPUMA00 codes and Census based PUMA codes. Of particular interest may be this excel file with a crosswalk between PWPUMA and 2010 PUMA codes.

Additionally, note that the Census redraws PUMA boundaries every 10 years based on population information gathered from the most recent decennial census. ACS samples incorporate the new PUMAs within a few years of the Decennial Census. In Muli-year ACS files, PUMA boundaires depend on the origional year the respondent was interviewed (via MULTYEAR).

I hope this is helpful. Let us know if you have any additional questions.
