Census Bureau to Host Webinar on Release of American Community Survey 1-Year Experimental Data

November 17, 2021

Press Release Number CB21-187

What:

The U.S. Census Bureau has announced a webinar to explain and answer questions about the release of estimates from the 2020 American Community Survey (ACS) 1-year data using experimental weights. The ACS is one of the most comprehensive sources of information about the U.S. population, providing key demographic, social, economic and housing statistics. The COVID-19 pandemic significantly disrupted the ability to reach people and limited their ability to participate in the 2020 ACS. Therefore, the Census Bureau will release experimental data instead of the standard 1-year data products.

The webinar will examine all 2020 ACS 1-year experimental data products also released Nov. 30, including:

Experimental data tables.
Technical working paper: “Addressing Nonresponse Bias in the American Community Survey During the Pandemic Using Administrative Data.”
1-Year Public Use Microdata Sample (PUMS) File with experimental weights.
Blog: “An Overview of Addressing Nonresponse Bias in the American Community Survey During the Pandemic Using Administrative Data.”

When:

Tuesday, Nov. 30, at 2 p.m. EST

Who:

Donna M. Daily, chief, American Community Survey Office, U.S. Census Bureau

Jonathan Eggleston, senior economist, Center for Economic Studies, U.S. Census Bureau

Michael C. Cook, chief, Public Information Office, U.S. Census Bureau

Access:

The webinar will include a simultaneous audio conference and online presentation. Credentialed media and data users will be able to ask questions following the presentation.
