• The 2022 NTEWS with a relatively small sample size is the base-year collection.

• Full-scale collection begins with the 2024 NTEWS collection.

• The NTEWS will draw its sample from the American Community Survey (ACS) two years prior, with one exception: the 2022 NTEWS drew from the 2018 ACS instead of the 2020 ACS because of concerns about reliability in that year’s collection as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
