The U.S. Census Bureau will conduct a prerelease webinar on September 4, 2025, to discuss the upcoming release of the 2024 American Community Survey (ACS) 1-year estimates. The public release of these estimates is scheduled for September 11, 2025.
The ACS offers detailed statistics about the U.S. population and housing, including data on language spoken at home, education levels, commuting patterns, employment status, mortgage and rent information, income levels, poverty rates, and health insurance coverage. According to the Census Bureau, it remains the only source providing local estimates for most of its more than 40 topics.
Embargo subscribers will have early access to these one-year statistics starting September 9 at 10 a.m. ET. The embargoed data covers all states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, congressional districts, metropolitan statistical areas, and other regions with populations of at least 65,000 people. This embargo period ends on September 11 at 12:01 a.m. ET. Distribution services are not permitted to share news stories or data files before the official public release time in accordance with the Census Bureau’s embargo policy.
All datasets will be made available to the general public by September 11 at 10 a.m. ET.
Those interested in embargo access can register through www.census.gov/newsroom/releases/archives/embargoed_releases.
The prerelease webinar will feature Caleb Hopler from the American Community Survey Office and Jewel Jordan from the Public Information Office. The session will include an audio conference and online presentation; attendees can participate using only their computers without needing to call in separately for audio. Both credentialed media members and data users may submit questions during or after the presentation via Q&A features or audio channels.
Registration for this event is available at https://www.census.gov/data/academy/webinars/2025/2024-acs-1-year-estimates-prerelease.html.
