Census Bureau to Host Webinar and Embargo of 2024 American Community Survey 1-Year Estimates

The U.S. Census Bureau is scheduled to hold a prerelease webinar about the 2024 American Community Survey (ACS) 1-year estimates set to be publicly released Sept. 11, 2025. The webinar will explain how to access data and resources from the ACS, and provide tips for comparing geographies and statistics over time.

The ACS provides a wide range of 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 to embargo subscribers beginning Sept. 9 at 10 a.m. ET for all states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, all congressional districts and metropolitan statistical areas, and other geographic areas with populations of 65,000 or more.

Embargo subscribers will have access to these statistics from Tuesday, Sept. 9 at 10 a.m. ET to Thursday, Sept. 11 at 12:01 a.m. ET. Wire and distribution services are prohibited from distributing embargoed news stories and data files before the public release date and time. For more information, refer to the Census Bureau's embargo policy. All datasets will be available to the public by 10 a.m. ET on Sept. 11.
