  • 1.  ASC5 saved search, sometimes don't show up

    Posted 12-28-2023 02:13 PM

    I have a fair number of saved searches such as;

    https://data.census.gov/table?q=S2201&g=050XX00US01001&y=2022&tid=ACSST5Y2022.S2201&moe=false

    This was a 2021 search but I have a variable for the year, and I just update it to 2022 and they work fine (Except)

    For some reason some don't work (error or blank), but sometimes if I play around with a new search, I can get it to work but the format of the search is different (although the numbers match).

    https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5YSPT2021.B19055?q=B19055&g=050XX00US01001&y=2021&moe=false for 2021 works.

    https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5YSPT2022.B19055?q=B19055&g=050XX00US01001&y=2021&moe=false for 2022 does not.

    However,

    https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2022.B19055?q=B19055&g=050XX00US01001&y=2022&moe=false Does (but see how the format is different).

    What is the SPT, and why is it sometimes unhappy?

    This has me a bit confused and although the numbers match my API call which still work, something is off? I use my saved search to double-check some of my data to make sure the API and spreadsheet inputs\changes etc. match. SO far about 30 work perfectly but 4 or 5 are funky.

    Any thoughts?

    Thanks.

    FYI, I logged this as a case because its a technical issue somehow related to some 2022 ACS5 tables, not anything that the users group here can help with. I will post an update when I get a response.
