  • 1.  Access issues with data.census.gov?

    Posted 04-06-2020 01:16 PM

    Hi all,

    Is anyone else seeing only a blank page at this address? A colleague and I have checked on 4 different computers, 3 browsers, but no luck. Has something changed recently? Is it working for you? I desperately need to work on a reference question that requires ACS.

    Thanks!

    Susan

    I just got a blank page as well. You could try calling the Bureau. Its possible that clearing all the cookies for the site from your browser cache might help but it sounds like a systemic problem to me. Issues like this seem to crop up a couple times a week.

    Hi Susan,

    The State Data Center website includes some guidance from the Census Bureau on this issue:

    I'm also attaching some ppt slides from the Census Bureau that may help.

    Thanks so much, Mark -- entering using the Advanced search (on Chrome) is now working for me. I'll share this info with my colleagues!
    All best,
    Susan
