Update from American Community Survey Data Users Group

Dear Online Community Members, 

Thank you for your participation in the American Community Survey (ACS) Data Users Group Online Community. Since its inception in 2013, the community has grown to over 7,000 members, sharing messages, materials, and announcements related to the ACS. Unfortunately, the U.S. Census Bureau was not able to renew the contract with the Population Reference Bureau (PRB) to maintain the site, and the online community will sunset on September 30, 2025.  We hope you will consider continuing your engagement on PRB's Federal Data Forum Online Community. You can also stay connected to the Census Bureau by subscribing to ACS email updates or contacting the ACS. 

Thank you,  

Donna M. Daily 

Chief, American Community Survey Office 

U.S. Census Bureau 

Diana Elliott, Ph.D. 

Senior Vice President, Programs
