Census Bureau Announces Changes for 2020 American Community Survey 1-Year Estimates Census Bureau plans to release experimental estimates developed from 2020 ACS 1-year data The U.S. Census Bureau today announced that it will not release its standard 1-year estimates from the 2020 American Community Survey (ACS) because of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on data collection. The Census Bureau will release experimental estimates developed from 2020 ACS 1-year data. The standard 2020 ACS 1-year estimates do not meet the Census Bureau's Statistical Data Quality Standards designed to ensure the utility, objectivity and integrity of the statistical information. Unlike the ACS, the 2020 Census was able to postpone their Nonresponse Followup to a time when they could carry out the full operation, limiting the impact of the pandemic on data quality in ways the ACS could not. |
