We are pleased to announce the release of the 2023 American Community Survey (ACS) 1-year estimates, the most relied-on source for up-to-date social, economic, and housing information every year. The ACS is the only source of local statistics for most of the 40+ topics it covers, such as educational attainment, occupation, language spoken at home, ancestry, and selected monthly homeowner costs.

ACS 1-year estimates are available for the nation, states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, congressional districts, metropolitan areas, and counties and places with a population of 65,000 or more. To find out if these estimates are available for your geographic area, please consult our Reference Materials.

Today's release includes Data Profiles, Detailed Tables, Comparison Profiles, Subject Tables, Selected Population Profiles, Ranking Tables, Geographic Comparison Tables, and the Summary File. Learn more in the 2023 Data Release Schedule.

Visit the U.S. Census Bureau's data.census.gov or use the Census API to start exploring these estimates. Please note that data.census.gov and the current release work best in Google Chrome.

    Thanks! The new race iterations of table B25140 (housing costs as % of household income) are wonderful to have in the summary file. Disaggregated data on housing cost burden is one of the most common requests we get, but we've had to rely on the PUMS, and most of the areas requestors are asking about aren't populous enough to have their own PUMA(s). So I'm looking forward to actually being able to provide them with that information. Can you tell us whether those iterations (tables B25140A-B25140I) will also be available in December's 2019-2023 five-year estimates release?

    Hi Matt,

    I am glad that these tables will be so useful! Yes, these tables (B25140A-B25140I) will be available for 5-year estimates as well, starting with 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates released December 12th.
