The Census Bureau announced that they will not be releasing their standard 2020 ACS 1-year data products in September as planned due to the impact of the pandemic on data quality. Instead, they will be releasing a set of experimental estimates from the 1-year data. They have created several resources to help data users prepare for this change:
* A press kit includes a PDF version of yesterday's webinar, background materials
explaining what experimental data products are, and information about the Census Bureau's
statistical quality standards. A recording of the webinar should be available by late Monday.
* A revised 2020 ACS release schedule includes the complete schedule with new
planned release dates. * The ACS Resource Hub flyer and 2020 ACS 1-Year Estimates: What You Need to Know
flyer provide more information.
