Data Dictionary

This page builds an automated data dictionary for the OPM separation dataset. It breaks down the column types, value ranges, and missing data for all 65 fields. Users may find this page helpful when evaluating the utility of a given field for analytic purposes.

Selecting 'See all n unique values' under a specific data type will return a scrollable table with a count of each value.

For further information pertaining to how OPM determines what data they redact or withhold from reporting read the OPM Data Release Policy.

Additional information about many of the fields may be found on OPM's Enterprise Human Resources Integration (EHRI) Data Standards site.
