Questions about this workflow
Does this compare the current estimates with a historical baseline?
Only if the requested data and the action results include the periods needed for that comparison. State the baseline you need and supply it if it is not returned.
What if a geography does not have one-year estimates?
The one-year action is intended for areas with available ACS one-year data. Use a suitable geography and period, or choose the five-year estimates action when detailed geographic coverage is needed.
