New American Community Survey data
Yesterday the U.S. Census Bureau announced the release of the 2018-2022 American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year estimates, the most relied-on source for up-to-date social, economic, housing, and demographic information every year. The ACS is the only source of local statistics for most of the 40+ topics it covers, such as educational attainment, occupation, language spoken at home, nativity, ancestry, and selected monthly homeowner costs.
ACS 5-year estimates are available for all geographic areas regardless of population size, down to the block-group level. Today's 2018-2022 ACS 5-year release will also include all data products, including Data Profiles, Comparison Profiles, Detailed Tables, Subject Tables and the Summary File.
Dashboards on the State Data Center's website will be updated over the coming weeks. If you are needing any data sooner, you can contact the office at 515-281-6618 or gary.krob@iowa.gov.
