ACS Data Users Group

Does anyone know who I could access 2008 5-year estimates for median earnings (S2001)? I can only get back to 2010. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Unfortunately, 5-year estimates don't begin until 2009 (2005-2009 is the 5-year range). I'm not sure if 2005-2009 is available on data.census.gov yet or whether 2006-2010 is the earliest 5-year data; someone else might have information on that.

I believe 5 year data were not available until 2009.

To clarify, since the ACS began in 2005, 5-years of data were not available until 2009.

for 2008 your only options are 1 year or 3 year data.
