This year, ACS data products will be released on the Census Bureau’s new data dissemination platform at data.census.gov. American FactFinder will not host any of the 2018 ACS data releases.  Geographic Comparison Tables and Ranking Tables will not be supported on data.census.gov for the 2018 ACS release, and the Census Bureau is in the process of determining whether the new platform will support these types of tables in the future.
