Data Availability after Factfinder Shutdown on March 31, 2020

Cliff Cook

Having read the announcement about the effect of the Factfinder shutdown on future data availability, I have the following questions:

  • "There are some historical files that are not compatible with the new platform. The incompatible files are all of the Subject Tables and Comparison Profiles prior to 2010, as well as the 2005 and 2006 Selected Population Profiles" - does this mean that these materials are NOT available through the FTP site now or after March 31?
  • Will the ACS materials currently on the FTP site remain available after March 31?
  • Are there any plans to migrate any of the pre-2010 ACS materials to data.census.gov at a latter date?

    Great questions! I would like to add one. There is no mention of Data Profiles in the announcement. Almost all the data from the Data Profiles prior to 2010 is available through API, but not through FTP. Are there plans to make data from the Data Profiles available through FTP?
