Notes & Caveats

FCC National Broadband Map: The NBM follows a bi-annual BDC filing cycle — filing window opens Jul 1 (for Jun 30 data) and Jan 2 (for Dec 31 data). As of June 8, 2026, the FCC API confirms four releases are published: Jun 2024, Dec 2024, Jun 2025, and Dec 2025 (Version 8). Versions 7 and 8 are both available now and should be ingested into cori.data.fcc if not yet done. The next release (Version 9, Jun 2026 data) enters its filing window Jul 1, 2026 with publication expected Nov/Dec 2026.
FCC Form 477: As of 2025, providers are transitioning from Form 477 deployment filings to BDC-only; subscribership data continues under Form 477. Latest deployment data (Jun 2025) was published May 8, 2026. Dec 2025 data is expected late 2026.
Census BDS: Historically released in late September each year, covering data through the prior calendar year. The 2024 vintage (covering through 2024) is expected ~Sep 2026 based on the Sep 2024 / Sep 2025 pattern.
Census BFS — Annual County: The 2025 county data is due ~Jun 2026, approximately six months after year-end. Note: BFS switched to 2022 NAICS in its Feb 2026 annual update — the cori.data.bfs ETL pipeline should be reviewed for schema compatibility before ingesting the 2025 county data.
Census PEP / Housing Units: Both are released under the Population Estimates Program on an annual multi-phase schedule. County totals (Mar) precede demographic detail (Jun) by ~3 months. Housing unit estimates follow the same May release cadence.
Census BPS: Annual county-level building permit data released each May by the Census Bureau. Vintage 2025 (2000–2025) was captured June 3, 2026 and is on S3. Next vintage (2026) expected May 2027. Run write_bps_to_s3(years = 2000:2026) after release.
Data Axle: Annual end-of-year snapshots; no public release schedule. Based on Esri's Feb 2026 update using Dec 2025 vintage, expect a ~6–8 week lag between snapshot date and data delivery to CORI's S3 partition. Coordinate directly with Data Axle account contact for exact delivery dates.
BLS QCEW: Released quarterly by BLS. Q4 2025 + Preliminary Annual 2025 shipped Jun 2, 2026 and is available now — ingest via cori.data.qcew if not yet done. Final Annual 2025 data will be bundled with Q1 2026 on Aug 28, 2026. Corrections (verified Jun 11, 2026): the package function is latest_qcew_vintage() — not latest_qcew_year(); it accepts no preliminary argument; and as of Jun 2026 it already returns "vintage_2025" (not 2024). Note: the Economic Dev Tool pipeline (load_qcew.R) does not call latest_qcew_vintage() — it sources qcew_utils.R which downloads annual county files directly from BLS. To pull 2025 preliminary data in that pipeline, set qcew.latest_year: [2025] in params.yml.
cori.data.rin: Not subject to a fixed schedule — triggered by Comms updating the RIN Communities Google Sheet. ETL via targets::tar_make() should be run after each Comms notification.
Government shutdowns / funding lapses: Several 2025 releases were delayed due to the fall 2025 federal funding lapse (e.g., Housing Unit Estimates delayed by one month). Build buffer time into ETL planning for any release that coincides with potential lapse windows (Sep 30 and Dec 31 fiscal year boundaries).
