Federal Data Users

And there we have it...

Thanks to the Disclosure Avoidance Order, ACS 1-year data release is delayed.

Thanks for sharing this, @Beth Jarosz. The frustrating part (besides the delay) is that we've lost many of the usual ways for the Census Bureau to stay connected with data users. This delay could signal significant changes to ACS data products, but there are now limited opportunities for the Bureau to explain what's changing, answer questions, hear concerns, and get feedback along the way.
