My apologies, I was wrong about the direction of the tradeoff. I.e., ACS-1 is only available for larger geographies.

There is a distinction though between the "ACS-1" and "ACS-1 supplemental estimates". The former is only available for 65,000+ person geographies.

Also, it's worth noting that for ACS-1 datasets, if you're looking at the census tract or census block level, you're going to have a significant number of omitted estimates. E.g. if you want to see the year to year median income even in a well-surveyed area like New York City, there will be many NA values
