Enhanced Filter Panel Placement: Selecting geographic components, such as "All Statewides within United States," Puerto Rico, and the Island Areas, is now more streamlined and intuitive. These filters are conveniently located within the "Show Geographic Components" section, improving navigation and usability.

New Charting Capabilities: We’re introducing the ability to create bar, column, and line charts from our data tables, providing more flexibility in data visualizations.
New Chart Tab: A dedicated "Chart" tab will be added to the app header, positioned between the "Maps" and "Profiles" tabs.

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 found near the top of the table.
Switching from 1-Year to 5-Year Estimates will provide data for the remainder of the geographies.
