Scott Boggess at the Census Bureau says that upper management at CB pays
attentions to what is submitted here.
If you want improvements to this data access system, please take the

Hi Elaine:
Can you tell me when the Census Bureau will be releasing updated
information on disability status? There is ACS information available
for some of our communities, but the ACS does not provide such data for
our smaller communities.
Thank you for your help.

This should be a FAQ somewhere as this seems to come up frequently. The
answer is that the smaller communities will not have any data until the
the full five year file for disabilities is available. The 2000 Census
overestimated disabilities and the Census Bureau has been working to
improve the way that the disabilities questions are asked which has
resulted in several changes in the questions/question order, which in
turn, effect comparability over time.
SO, the last time that the disability questions were changed occurred in
the ACS 2008 questionnaire. Which means that the disability data will
not be available until the 2008-2012 ACS 5 year file is available
(barring any other changes in the questions). This allows for
comparability over time so that 5 years of data can be combined for the
smaller area estimates.

I am so sorry to tell you that you MIGHT have to wait until 2008-2012
ACS data are released, because of a change to the disability questions
on the ACS form in 2008.
As you point out, you need 5-year ACS to get results for areas with
population under 20,000.
I understand that there is some effort at the CB to figure out a way to
use the different questions (pre and post 2008), so maybe someone from
the Census Bureau can tell us whether this is really happening.

Thanks, Elaine. This seems to be the consensus.
