New Census Data Release Dec. 9, 2008
For the past several years the Census Bureau has released data products from the American Community Survey (ACS) in the form of 1-year estimates.

These three-year estimates will be available for geographic areas with a population of 20,000 or more, including the nation, all states and the District of Columbia, all congressional districts, approximately 1,800 counties, and 900 metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas, among others.
