Article Snippet: Synthetic Populations and Ecosystems of the World (SPEW) , SPEW , is a framework that produces synthetic populations for various countries. We used the open-sourced version of the synthetic population available for the U.S. constructed for the year 2013. The sampled base population is the byproduct of American Community Survey (ACS) Public Use Microdata Sample (PUMS) data. Statistical methods such as Simple Random Sampling (SRS) and Iterative Proportional Fitting (IPF) , are used to estimate joint distributions of population characteristics given their marginal distributions at a small geographic level (e.g. PUMA-level for the U.S.). Data records are available at household level for all of U.S. Descriptors are available for mapping records from PUMS data onto the base synthetic population. .
