🔑 Updated API Query for 2021 ACS 5-Year Data for Summary Level 310 🌎

With the release of the 2017-2021 5-Year American Community Survey (ACS) estimates in December 2022, a change was inadvertently made to the Census Data API queries for Summary Level 310 for Metropolitan and Micropolitan Statistical Areas.

The geography portion of the query changed from: metropolitan%20statistical%20area/micropolitan%20statistical%20area to metropolitan/micropolitan%20statistical%20area This change only impacted the Detailed Tables, Subject Tables, Data Profiles, and Comparison Profiles from the 2017-2021 5-Year ACS estimates.

On Thursday, April 20, 2023, we will release the correction and the 2017-2021 5-Year ACS queries for Summary Level 310 will revert to the same syntax that was used for prior years: metropolitan%20statistical%20area/micropolitan%20statistical%20area. Our apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused. If you have questions or concerns, please contact census.data@census.gov.
