PUSLE PUF file
In the context of Census data, PUF stands for Public Use File1. A Public Use File (PUF) is a dataset that contains individual responses to survey questions1. These files are used to create custom tabulations and allow users to delve further into the rich detail collected in surveys like the Household Pulse Survey (HPS)1.
Each weekly HPS microdata file is released two weeks after the Household Pulse Survey Data Tables1. Each of these weekly releases includes a Public Use Data File (PUF), a replicate weight data file, and a data dictionary1.
The PUFs contain individual responses to the survey questions and can be downloaded in various formats like SAS and CSV1. They provide researchers and the public with access to detailed census data, while still protecting the confidentiality of respondents12.
