2020 ACS Data Release Schedule (update)
Updated July 29, 2021:� Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on data collection, the Census Bureau is changing the 2020 American Community Survey (ACS) release schedule. Instead of providing the standard 1-year estimates, the Census Bureau will release a series of "experimental" estimates from the 1-year data in November. This will include a limited number of data tables for limited geographies.

FOOTNOTES

1 For information on the types of data products available, see the ACS Data Tables and Tools.

This year, ACS data products will be released on the Census Bureau's new data dissemination platform at data.census.gov. American FactFinder will not host any of the 2018 ACS data releases. Geographic Comparison Tables and Ranking Tables will not be supported on data.census.gov for the 2018 ACS release, and the Census Bureau is in the process of determining whether the new platform will support these types of tables in the future.

2 The lowest level of geography refers to the Census geographic hierarchy. For more information on census geography, see the Geography Program Glossary.

3 Media embargos will be available 48 hours before the public releases of the ACS 1-year estimates in September and the ACS 5-year estimates in December.

New Census Information Center (CIC)

For over a decade, the designated Census Information Center (CIC) for Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islanders in the United States was housed in Papa Ola Lōkahi (POL), see http://www.papaolalokahi.org/native-hawaiian-programs/census-information.html

Events have occurred and priorities have changed. Papa Ola Lōkahi will be turning over the role and responsibilities to the Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA). The hand off is in progress as each organization adjusts to the new circumstances.

The new Census Information Center is envisioned to be a collaborative and cooperative partnership with several Native Hawaiian Organization and agencies sharing responsibility for different tasks. Papa Ola Lōkahi will continue to have a role in CIC activities. Details for this data alliance is in the process of being defined and sorted out.

The Census Information Center (CIC)

The U.S. Census Bureau's Customer Liaison and Marketing Services Office (CLMSO) administers the Census Information Center (CIC) Program. CLMSO is a division within the Census Bureau's Communication Directorate.

The CIC program was established in 1988, when the U.S. Census Bureau and the National Urban League entered into a joint agreement to create a pilot project to make Census data and information available to minority communities.

In 2000, the CIC network became an official Census Bureau program. Both the Census Bureau and each of the organizations in the CIC network signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA). The MOA is a legal document approved by the Department of Commerce that explains the cooperative agreement between the organizations and the U.S. Census Bureau. In addition, it outlines the responsibilities of the both the CIC and the Census Bureau.

Currently, the network consists of over 50 centers, a mix of national and community-based organizations. The network is comprised of colleges and universities, research groups, minority chambers of commerce, civil rights organizations serving children, the aging, rural populations, and tribal governments.

The mission of the CIC program is to provide efficient access to Census Bureau data products through a wide data dissemination network of organizations. Those organizations effectively process and disseminate Census Bureau data to underserved population groups in easily understandable formats.
