Data.census.gov shown as the Census Bureau's primary data hub
Summary
Presenters demonstrated advanced filters and map views on data.census.gov, including a Colorado county example showing Adams County with 101,545 people (29%) age 25+ holding a bachelor's degree or higher, and noted platform cautions about one‑year vs five‑year comparisons and an interface defaulting to 2023 5‑year estimates.
Ryan Ricciardi described data.census.gov as "the Census Bureau's main data dissemination platform and the primary way to access data from the American Community Survey," and demonstrated filtering by geography, topic and year. In a walkthrough he selected all Colorado counties, chose education and table S1501, and showed the table and map views.
Ricciardi highlighted a data point from the demo: Adams County, Colorado, had 101,545 people (29%) age 25 and over with a bachelor's degree or higher in the selected estimate. He also warned users to avoid directly comparing ACS one‑year and five‑year estimates and noted a current interface quirk: it defaulted to the 2023 ACS 5‑year estimates rather than the most recent 2024 estimates.
