Data.census.gov Newsletter ? April 2024

What's New?

You?ll notice new enhancements to the Population Pyramid app, including three key features:

• You can now easily check out other geography profiles by clicking on the underlined geography names with dotted lines.
• We?ve updated the links for sharing the population pyramids. These URLs now include the GEO ID from your geography selection, enabling you to share results for specific population pyramids.
• The widgets now feature new source statements.

We?ve improved table headers, and they now display all table headers by default, even when tables have a recommended pivot applied.

The webpage for signing up for a Census Data API Key has been redesigned to maintain a consistent look and feel with our other webpages.

Improved messaging is now in place for when searches yield no results. This update eliminates irrelevant profile suggestions and provides a clear ?no results found? message, along with helpful suggestions for refining your search.

Fixes to 22 defects, including fixes that allow you to:

• Navigate throughout map features with buttons that are responsive to your selections.
• View the map labels in full, even on small screens.
• Navigate backwards throughout the filter panel by clicking applicable words and phrases.

Featured Question

Why does my table not show all of my selected geographies?

When the returned results do not produce the expected number of geographies, it is often a result of the 1-year estimates being used instead of the 5-year estimates.

ACS 1-year estimates are only available for geographies with 65,000 people or more, and the tables go through additional data quality filtering.

To change the table from 1-year estimates to 5-year estimates, use the Product drop-down menu or Dataset button near the top of the table. Switching from 1-year to 5-year estimates will provide data for the remainder of the geographies.
