The June release covers a lot of ground for demographic updates including the annual update of U.S. demographic data. Esri’s Demographic Data Development team has incorporated the latest sources to provide 2018 estimates and 2023 projections of topics including population by age, sex, and race, as well as income and home value. In addition, employment by industry/occupation, education, marital status, daytime population, and Esri’s Tapestry Segmentation database have all been updated to reflect these recent estimates. Read more about the 2018/2023 U.S. Demographic updates.

- Changes to the layer IDs of the administrative/statistical boundaries.
- Changes to the layer names of the administrative/statistical boundaries.
