The default IPUMS request samples people or households from all 50 states and Washington, D.C. You can narrow the geography by choosing specific states or metropolitan areas. Don’t choose a combination of states and metro areas (for example, Anchorage and Alaska) or the import won’t work.
The request now contains the checked items.
Tip: If you select several states in the Choosing Cases section of the Microdata panel, you’ll want the attribute State, so you can tell which case came from which state. When the data are downloaded, the people or households will all have been sampled from the requested area(s). Metropolitan area samples are not available for 1960.
