The U.S. Census Bureau announced on March 10 that it will provide a two-day embargo period for qualified media to access the Vintage 2025 population estimates. The embargo will allow journalists to review data on total population and demographic changes for U.S. counties, metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas, as well as Puerto Rico municipios.
This embargo period is scheduled from Tuesday, March 24 at 10 a.m. Eastern Time until Thursday, March 26 at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time. During this time, registered media can view the new estimates before they are released to the public.
According to the Census Bureau, these estimates reflect changes in population between April 1, 2020, and July 1, 2025. Media subscribers who wish to interview Census Bureau experts during the embargo period are instructed to email their requests in advance.
The agency emphasized that information accessed under embargo may not be published or shared until the official release date and time of Thursday, March 26 at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time. Embargo subscribers are also encouraged to confirm their login credentials by March 23 and can seek assistance via email if needed.
The release of these updated population figures is expected to provide important insights into demographic trends across U.S. regions and Puerto Rico.
