Hello,

Based on the Census’ website, it looks like the 2018 ACS 1-year PUMS file is slated to be released on November 14, 2019 ([2018 Data Release Schedule](https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/news/data-releases/2018/release-schedule.html)).

In a previous post on here, it looks like the turnaround from the Census release to the IPUMS release is typically about a month. Is that a correct sense of the timeline for the aforementioned file to be released this coming fall?

Thank you for your work and your help!  
Graeme Peterson

Yes, this expected turnaround time is the same this year. Outside of any unexpected delays, the IPUMS USA Team should have the 2018 ACS 1-year file out on IPUMS USA by the middle of December.

It’s great to see the 2018 ACS 1-year file out now. In the release notes it says that the OCC2010 and IND1990 will be made available in a future release. Can anyone say approximately when that will be? Many thanks.
