American Community Survey Data via FTP. I got talking to some people from the US Census at NICAR today and asked them if there was a way to download their data in bulk (in addition to their various APIs)... and there was!
I had heard of the American Community Survey but I hadn’t realized that it’s gathered on a yearly basis, as a 5% sample compared to the full every-ten-years census. It’s only been running for ten years, and there’s around a year long lead time on the survey becoming available.
