The U.S. Census Bureau announced on March 10 that it will provide a two-day embargo period for qualified media to access the Vintage 2025 population estimates. The embargo will allow journalists to review data on total population and demographic changes for U.S. counties, metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas, as well as Puerto Rico municipios, covering changes from April 1, 2020, through July 1, 2025.
This embargo period is scheduled from Tuesday, March 24 at 10 a.m. Eastern Time until Thursday, March 26 at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time. During this time, eligible members of the media can view the estimates via the Census Bureau’s embargo site.
According to the announcement, embargo subscribers may also request interviews with Census Bureau experts during this period by emailing [email protected]. The agency encourages those interested in accessing the information to register for embargo access on its website and to confirm their login credentials by March 23.
The Census Bureau emphasized that any information obtained under embargo cannot be published or shared before the public release date and time of Thursday, March 26 at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time. For assistance related to embargo access or technical issues, subscribers are advised to contact [email protected].
The release of these updated population estimates provides important data for understanding demographic trends across U.S. regions and Puerto Rico ahead of their public availability.
