Data.census.gov Newsletter – February 2025

The new “Delete All Variables” button on the Census Data Platform [ [link removed] ]

In January, we introduced a few updates to enhance your experience on data.census.gov [ [link removed] ]. These updates are a part of our ongoing efforts to make the site easier to use and more efficient, incorporating valuable feedback from our users.

*What's New?*

*For the Microdata Access Tool **(MDAT)**, we’ve introduced a few enhancements:*


* *New “Delete All Variables” Button:* In the cart tab, you’ll now find a button that allows you to quickly delete all selected variables.
* *Improved Continuous Variable Messaging:* After selecting a continuous variable, a message will appear at the top of the screen reminding you that the variable may need to be recoded in the cart.
* *Enhanced PUMA Labels in Tables:* Public Use Microdata Area (PUMA) labels have been improved. Five-digit PUMA codes now display automatically in the table when using geography variables such as PUMA10, PUMA20, MIGPUMA, or POWPUMA.

*Charts Tab Improvement:*


* In the Charts tab, we’ve renamed the “*Attributes*” button to “*Filters*” for better clarity. While the name has changed, the functionality of the button remains the same.

*Maps Update:*


* We’ve updated map colors for geographies with no data. These geographies are now displayed in dark gray, making it easier to distinguish between areas with no data and those that have not been selected.

*Additional Updates:*


* * Clickable FTP Links:* We’ve made enhancements that now allow links in the Notes section of the FTP site, making it easier to access files.
* *Updated Population Pyramid Data:* The Population Pyramid application is now driven by the most recent 2023 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, providing you with the latest available data.
