Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics (LEHD) Person-level Files Residence Components

The Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics (LEHD) data at the U.S. Census Bureau is a quarterly database of linked employer-employee data covering over 95% of employment in the United States. The LEHD data are generated by merging previously collected survey and administrative data on jobs, businesses, and workers. Data are derived from various Federal sources as well as state data voluntarily provided through the Local Employment Dynamics (LED) partnership. The Person-level residence table contains up to one place of residence per year for all workers observed in the earnings data. The place of residence is derived from a variety of administrative records.
