FOOTNOTES

1 For information on the types of data products available, see the ACS Data Tables and Tools.

This year, ACS data products will be released on the Census Bureau’s new data dissemination platform at data.census.gov. American FactFinder will not host any of the 2018 ACS data releases.  Geographic Comparison Tables and Ranking Tables will not be supported on data.census.gov for the 2018 ACS release, and the Census Bureau is in the process of determining whether the new platform will support these types of tables in the future.

2 The lowest level of geography refers to the Census geographic hierarchy. For more information on census geography, see the Geography Program Glossary.

3 Media embargos will be available 48 hours before the public releases of the ACS 1-year estimates in September and the ACS 5-year estimates in December. To learn more about the embargos and what will be new with upcoming releases, tune into the pre-release webinars. Please check the ACS Events page for updates.

4 For definitions of the types of geographic areas listed, see the Geography Program Glossary.
