The U.S. Census Bureau will hold a webinar Sept. 8 explaining how to access data and online resources from the 2021 American Community Survey (ACS) set to be publicly released on Sept. 15. The webinar will also provide tips for comparing ACS geographies and statistics over time. Embargo subscribers will have access to these statistics from Tuesday, Sept. 13, at 10 a.m. EDT, to Sept. 15, at 12:01 a.m. EDT.
The American Community Survey provides a wide range of important statistics about the nation’s people and housing, such as language spoken at home, education, commuting, employment, mortgage status and rent, income, poverty and health insurance coverage. It is the only source of local estimates for most of the 40-plus topics it covers.
The one-year statistics will be available for all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, every congressional district and all U.S. counties and places with populations of 65,000 or more.
