Census 2010: Sixth Informal Update on Status of ACS 2006-2010 Special EEO File

In the third Census 2010 update we received, [Joseph Donovan] stated that the American Community Survey (ACS) 2006-2010 Special EEO File would not contain a "disability" measure due to technical reasons, i.e., a "break-in-series" problem. However, one of the federal agencies sponsoring the creation of the upcoming Special EEO File has indicated to Census that it would like to have a Special File or Tabulation created that would include a "disability" measure. My current understanding is that it will not be part of the official ACS 2006-2010 Special EEO File but it will be released at the same time, i.e., December 31, 2012.

The files included in this informal update are for providing you with the essentially final version of both the new county/county set definitions and the new Census/SOC crosswalk. Although these two tables are nearly set in stone, they are subject to being revised up until the Special File is finally and formally released.
