Data.census.gov Newsletter – June 2021 Welcome to the new monthly data.census.gov newsletter! Each month, you will learn about the latest system updates, data releases, and educational opportunities for data.census.gov. Latest System Updates Last month, we released new updates to improve your experience on data.census.gov. With this release, you will now see: Banner notifications URLs in search results Compressed download size Geography Profile enhancements Fixes to 30 defects Learn More A major theme of the release is to provide better information as you work through the platform. This includes new banner functionality to alert you to key updates and critical notifications. For example, when data from the 2020 Census are released, we can add a message to the top of your screen to tell you that new data are available. But when it comes to navigating data.census.gov, we know the small details are just as important as major notifications. That's why we have added more information to make it easier for you to understand what you see on screen and decide what to click on next. For instance, when you run searches in the "Pages" section of data.census.gov, you will now see the URL for each search result. This will help you decide which result is most relevant before you click it. You will also notice new notifications about the file size before you download tables, and better labeling of data sources, percentages, and dollar values in the Geography Profiles.
