Going North – Mexican immigration in Georgia.

The following discussion is based primarily on the analysis of the public use micro-data sample (PUMS), which is prepared from the responses to the 2004 American Community Survey.

Because of the additional statistical procedures used to produce this sample, PUMS data differ from the published, pre-tabulated American Community Survey (ACS) data. The Survey itself is mailed to a selected number of addresses in every state: the Georgia data are based on 12,646 household interviews. The public use micro-data sample is a statistically valid selection of data from these interviews.

The survey-based data are self-reported, and differ from the information based on government or establishment data.

Income data are tabulated according to the Survey’s unique subject definitions, which are not the same as those used in
other data sets, including the decennial census of population and housing.
