In last night's ACS 5-year estimates release, it looks like the geography files are in a new format. Instead of csv/txt pairs as they were in years past, they're in xls format. xls is a lot harder to work with in some systems, and often trips things up with leading zeros, and similar issues. Anyone know if the old format is available anywhere for the new files?
Looks like they put up a new geography zip file for the complete sf, with the previous format: www2.census.gov/.../
