Summary
The American Community Survey (ACS) is an ongoing statistical survey that samples a small percentage of the population every year -- giving communities the information they need to plan investments and services. The 5-year public use microdata sample (PUMS) for 2011-2015 is a subset of the 2011-2011 ACS sample. It contains the same sample as the combined PUMS 1-year files for 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015. This data collection provides a person-level subset of 129,895 respondents whose occupations were coded as arts-related in the 2011-2015 ACS PUMS. The 2011-2015 PUMS is the seventh 5-year file published by the ACS. This data collection contains five years of data for the population from households and the group quarters (GQ) population. The GQ population and population from households are all weighted to agree with the ACS counts which are an average over the five year period (2011-2015). The ACS sample was selected from all counties across the nation. The ACS provides social, housing, and economic characteristics for demographic groups covering a broad spectrum of geographic areas in the United States. Demographic variables include sex, age, relationship of person to the selected respondent, race, and Hispanic origin. Social characteristics variables include school enrollment, educational attainment, marital status, fertility, grandparents caring for children, veteran status, type of disability, health insurance, place of birth, United States citizenship status, year of entry, year of naturalization, language spoken at home, and ancestry. Variables focusing on economic characteristics include employment status, commuting to work, occupation, industry, class of worker, income and benefits, and poverty status
