*What's New?*
In April, we released new updates to improve your experience on data.census.gov [ [link removed] ]. With this release, you will now see:
* New bar charts added to the Marital Status and Marital History section of the Geography Profiles
* New buttons for ?Dataset? and ?Year? added to the table toolbar
* Simplified column controls
* Continued search engine optimization
* Fixes to 16 defects
*Learn More* [ [link removed] ]
The primary feature of the release is the new bar charts added to the Marital Status and Marital History section of the Geography Profiles. This update provides more meaningful information in the bar charts. You?ll also see the new buttons for ?Dataset? and ?Year? added to the table toolbar. These buttons provide an intuitive option for you to switch between all available datasets and years applicable to the table you are currently viewing. This will be more helpful for users to interact with the table and replaces the previous ?Survey? button. You?ll also see we removed the reset column buttons because the ?Restore? button at the top of the table already provides functionality to return to the default table view.
Finally, behind the scenes we performed technical updates to improve your view of the maps in the Geography Profiles on a mobile device without having the controls cover up the map automatically. Users will also experience a readjusted zoom area on the map as you make updates to your selected geographies.
