The U.S. Census Bureau will hold a webinar on Nov. 27, 2018, in advance of the Dec. 6 release of the 2013-2017 American Community Survey five-year estimates.

The webinar will show participants how to access the data and compare geographies and statistics over time. Embargo subscribers will have access to these statistics beginning Dec. 4 at 10 a.m. (EST).

The American Community Survey provides a wide range of important statistics about people and housing for every community in the nation. This survey is the only source of local estimates for most of the 40 topics it covers for communities across the nation. For example, it produces statistics for language, education, commuting, employment, mortgage status and rent, as well as income, poverty and health insurance.

The five-year estimates will be available for all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, every congressional district, and all counties, places, census tracts, ZIP Code Tabulation Areas and block groups.

Tuesday, Nov. 27, 2018, at 2 p.m. (EST)

Camille Ryan, American Community Survey Office; Social Economic, and Housing Statistics Division, U.S. Census Bureau

Moniqua L. Roberts-Gray, Public Information Office, Media Relations Branch, U.S. Census Bureau

The webinar will consist of a simultaneous audio conference and online presentation. News media will have the opportunity to ask questions following the presentation.
