2014 ACS 1-Year Supplemental Estimates and 2010-2014 ACS 5-Year Replicate Estimates
Based on feedback received from the American Community Survey (ACS) Data Products Redesign Group (DPRG), we are releasing supplemental products on July 21, 2016 consisting of 2014 ACS 1-Year Supplemental Estimates and 2010-2014 ACS 5-Year Replicate Estimates.
The supplemental estimates will consist of 58 detailed tables tabulated on the 1-year microdata for geographies with populations of 20,000 or more. These supplemental estimates will be released on American FactFinder (AFF) and the API, and will be available for the same geographic summary levels as those in the ACS 1-Year dataset.
The replicate estimates will consist of the original estimate and the 80 replicate estimates (used to calculate the margins of error) for 107 tables. These are intended for advanced users who want to aggregate geographies or collapse tables and re-calculate margins of error that are consistent with the Census Bureau margins of error. The replicate estimates will be released on the FTP site with links available on AFF, and will be available for the following summary levels:
