- Five year estimates are released for EVERY level of census geography (down to the block group level) as well as every municipal civil division (think town, city, and village).
- Three year estimates are only released for geographies or municipalities with a MINIMUM population of 20,000 persons. So many smaller villages and towns are excluded.
- One year estimates are released for municipalities with a MINIMUM population of 65,000. This means they are mostly available for counties and larger cities.
What this means for municipalities is that in some cases (Oneida County for example), each year there are 3 levels of ACS released - the One Year, the Three Year, and the Five Year ACS Estimates ALL include Oneida County data. Other communities, like Herkimer County, only have two versions of the ACS that cover them - the Three Year, and the Five Year ACS Estimates. And even still smaller areas, say the tiny villages such as Newport, can only find annual updates of data in the Five Year estimates.
The most recent One Year Estimates for 2012 were released today, so new information is now available for Oneida County (and larger geographies like New York State). A permanent link, located just above the banner of this blog will take you to the most recent ACS data for each county, including this new release of One Year ACS data for Oneida County.
Below are the individual links to the most recent (2012) ACS One Year Estimate's Demographic, Social, Economic, and Housing Profiles for Oneida County as well as the Utica-Rome Municipal Statistical Area (Oneida County and Herkimer County combined).
