Description

Partial 2016 ACS PUMS housing data for Washington State. Data has 33241 rows (all rows), but only 90 columns. Included variables are SERIALNO, NP, GRPIP, GRNTP, HINCP, VACS, TEN, BDSP, the expansion weight (WGTP), and the 80 replicate weights. VACS and TEN are the only variables used in the ACS PUMS estimates for user verification, and the expansion weights and replicate weights are needed to compute point estimates and standard errors. The other variables are actual numbers (not categorical) and are used in tests and vignettes.
