Data Release Process:

1. Pre-release announcement — A week ahead, we'll announce which states to anticipate the following week. (Subscribe to receive the media advisories.)
2. Shipment to State Leadership — We'll ship the data to the state leadership (ex. governor, majority and minority leaders) first, as required by law. We will also issue a media advisory notifying media when we ship the data to each state.
3. Confirmation, FTP Site and News Release — The following day, we'll confirm the state leaders' receipt of the data. We will then release the full data set to our FTP download site and post a news release and custom tables [XLS] with top line data for that state.
4. Full Data Set in American FactFinder within 24 Hours — Within 24 hours, the data will also be available on American FactFinder, the Census Bureau's online data search tool.
