Household Pulse Survey Public Use File (PUF)
Microdata files contain individual responses to survey questions. They can be used to create custom tabulations and allow users to delve further into the rich detail collected in the Household Pulse Survey (HPS).
Each of the releases includes a Public Use Data File (PUF), a replicate weight data file, and a data dictionary.
The cross-sectional data collection for the Household Pulse Survey (HPS) ended on September 16, 2024, with the final data of the cross-sectional data collection released on October 3, 2024.
In early October 2024, HPS content began transitioning into a longitudinal design, with data collected every other month to be released at a national level. In January 2025, the HPS officially relaunched as an integral part of the Household Trends and Outlook Pulse Survey (HTOPS).
The HTOPS used a longitudinal design throughout 2025. Beginning in March 2026, the HTOPS transitioned into a cross-sectional design focusing on HPS content.
