IPUMS-USA experienced a technical delay recently which has prevented the release of the 2012 ACS 5 year sample. However, they have resolved the issue and are planning on releasing by April 15th if not sooner. In the mean time, since the 5-year file is fundamentally a combination of the single year files from 2008-2012 all of the information is presently available on IPUMS-USA.

I apologize for any inconvenience this delay has caused.
