Does anyone know why the Block Group data is not being released via the AFF’s standard pull-down menus? I was under the impression that today (12/14) was the release date for this data. I understand that it is available via Summary File, but this is far from user friendly.

When will the data be available via the AFF’s standard access method?

Thank you,

Nick Lindeman

Good Afternoon Mara and Elaine,
The summary file data (block group level data) will be available on December 14th. You can use American Factfinder as a portal. You will be able to download summary file data via the FTP website at <http://www2.census.gov/acs2009_5yr/summaryfile/>. There will also be a clickable link next to the familiar portion of AFF in which you select the desired ACS year(s) for which you would like data. Hope this helps.
