Vintages stay separate: ACS demographics/housing 2019–2023; HUD FMR FY2024; FBI UCR and DOL NDCP use each feed's latest county year. Rent and childcare grades are exploratory joins of those feeds against ACS median income, not a claim that every agency shares one fiscal year. Source: U.S. Census Bureau ACS 5-Year Estimates.
