Metropolitan Geographic Definitions and Code for "Geographies of Insecure Water Access and the Housing-Water Nexus in U.S. Cities."

Safe, reliable, and equitable water access is critical to human health and livelihoods. In this study, we undertake the first systematic and comprehensive analysis of household piped water access in the United States, with the aim of explaining drivers of infrastructural inequality in the 50 largest metropolitan areas. Drawing on statistical analysis and regression modeling of U.S. census microdata at the household scale, our analysis reveals spatial and sociodemographic patterns of racialized, class-based, and housing disparities that characterize plumbing poverty across metropolitan areas.This dataset includes relevant supplemental data for our manuscript titled, "Geographies of Insecure Water Access and the Housing-Water Nexus in U.S. Cities" (forthcoming, PNAS). Here, we present customized Public Use Microdata Sample (PUMS) definitions used in our study that make U.S. Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) geographies comparable over time, as well as the accompanying R code for statistical analysis of census microdata and the creation of spatial visualizations.

安全、可靠且公平的水资源获取对人类的健康与生计至关重要。本研究首次对美国的家庭管道水接入进行了系统而全面的分析，旨在阐释五十个最大都会区基础设施不平等背后的驱动因素。借助对美国人口普查微观数据在家庭层面的统计分析与回归建模，本研究揭示了跨越都会区的种族化、阶级和住房差异的空间与社会人口学模式，这些模式构成了城市中的管道贫困。本数据集包含了与我们的论文《美国城市不安全水资源获取的地域分布及其住房-水联系》（即将发表于 PNAS）相关的补充数据。在此，我们展示了本研究中使用的定制公共使用微观数据样本（PUMS）定义，以及用于统计分析和创建空间可视化的配套 R 语言代码。有意合作使用完整脚本者，请联系通讯作者（K.
