I am interested in whether technical documentation will be provided for 2006-2010 ACS 5-year estimates in advance of the embargo period. Tables and macros found in the following links were provided for 2005-2009 ACS:
http://www2.census.gov/acs2005_2009_5yr/summaryfile/ with details such as Sequence_Number_and_Table_Number_Lookup.xls
http://www2.census.gov/acs2005_2009_5yr/summaryfile/UserTools/ including macros. Also, could these macros be used for the new data?
http://www2.census.gov/acs2005_2009_5yr/summaryfile/ ACS2009_5-Year_TableShells.xls provided table shells
Finally, when would the documentation to be available? If the documentation was available well ahead of the embargo, we could be ready for the data. More of our time could be spent preparing analyses for questions we anticipate from the media. Thank you. –Jon
