This
is new data. It's the release of the ACS.
It's just that BJ is using it the wrong way, the way the census explicitly warns against.
"Although the American Community Survey (ACS) produces population, demographic and housing unit estimates, it is the Census Bureau's Population Estimates Program that produces and disseminates the official estimates of the population for the nation, states, counties, cities and towns and estimates of housing units for states and counties."
This new data will be useful for other purposes. It will be interesting to see the commuting flow numbers.
