[CTPP News] New Census data releases for August - December 2023

The next several months should keep census data analysts quite busy. https://www.census.gov/newsroom.html New decennial census (2020) products will include: Thursday, August 31, 2023: DHC file for 118th Congressional Districts; Current State houses. This will be the first Census 2020 data products using the new congressional district boundaries based on Census 2020, and as used in the November 2022 general election. This will include summary levels at the new state house and state senates for all states. Thursday, September 21, 2023: DHC-A file with the detailed race-ethnicity groups. https://www.census.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2023/2020-census-detailed-dh… New American Community Survey data products including 2022 data will include: Thursday, September 14, 2023: 1-year Data Release (2022) Thursday, October 19, 2023: 1-year Public Use Microdata Sample (2022) Thursday, December 7, 2023: 5-year Data Release(2018-2022) Thursday, January 25, 2024: 5-year Public Use Microdata Sample (2018-2022) https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/news/data-releases/2022/release… My guess is that these data will be readily accessible via data.census.gov <http://data.census.gov/> and the census bureau’s API structure. I will probably be using the tidycensus, tidyverse, ggplot2 R packages to retrieve, reduce, report, chart and map results. Hope this helps: Chuck Purvis retired person, Hayward California
