Quick Overview
The Census 2026 release schedule lists the June New Residential Construction release on July 17 and the July release on August 18. A research team can use those dates to separate preliminary observations, revised data, and internal publication dates.
Portfolio application
Use the market note comparability method to record reference month, release date, revision status, access date, and the decision supported. Schedule a review after a revision rather than silently overwriting the prior note.
Common Mistakes
Do not publish a future release as observed data. Do not compare a preliminary month with a revised month without labeling both, and do not mistake the calendar for a forecast.
Method and limits
The Census Survey of Construction schedule identifies standard release timing and revision events. Actual release timing can change, so check the source before using it operationally.
Common Questions Answered
Why keep the release date?
It lets reviewers reproduce which data vintage informed the decision.
What should happen after a revision?
Retain the previous record, add the new vintage, and explain the material difference.
Ready to improve research hygiene?
