Additional 2004 ACS Data Released

The U.S. Census Bureau has released over 600 additional base tables from the 2004 ACS. Included are 258 new base tables as well as race iterationsof most of the tables released last August.

Some of the new tables include:
median age by residence one year ago;
place of birth by language spoken at home and ability to speak English;
place of birth by marital status;
means of transportation to work by industry;
and median monthly housing costs.

Also featured are Subject Tables, a new ACS data product. They are similar to the Census 2000 Quick Tables, but contain much more detail than Quick Tables. Subject tables display percent distributions rather than the estimates. Universe lines are displayed as numeric estimates to show the base of each distribution. Subject tables allow for other measures such as medians and means where appropriate, and include the imputation rates for relevant measures.

Access to these new data products is through the American Fact Finder Website, from the Data Sets Tab.

An online guide to accessing and using the 2004 data was released August 23, 2005.
