  • 1.  data.census.gov not showing tables in results

    The data.census.gov website is not showing tables in results. Presumably this is shut down related, but very frustrating given that the table I want were previously available. Are others having the same issues accessing tables via data.census.gov? (I can't get the downloads to work either.)

    Yes others have reported the same issue with DCG. 

    The State Data Centers provide some guidance on "Navigating the Federal Shutdown" here:

    Dear Diana,

    Since you work for a government agency, I should be able to help out if you can give me a list of the table IDs and FIPS codes for the geography.  The API and FTP sites are still working.  I can download the tables and email them to you.  The API tables come down in a slightly different format, 2 columns with Est and MoE and a bunch of rows.  For simple tables the result should be close to the data.census.gov format.  info@dorerfoundation.org

    Hi, thank you for posting this. I figured it might be related to a shutdown, but with my luck, I thought it was a MacBook issue. However, I noticed that even if a table isn't visible, you can still download it.
