==Planned Deprecation==
==Standalone Version Deprecated==
Melissa plans to deprecate ZIP*Data Classic by '''<span style="color:red;">October 22, 2022</span>''' and will require all applications that currently use ZIP*Data Classic to implement the standard version: [[ZIP*Data II]].
Based on Survey Feedback, we have decided to include ZIP*Data Classic within a “'''legacy'''” folder of the [[ZIP*Data II]] download (<code>ZD2_YYYYMM.zip</code>) for those that still need extra time to make the switch beginning '''November 2022'''. There is no end-of-life plan at this time.


ZIP*Data Classic will be deprecated because it is divided amongst 10 tables that must be joined together and contains 2000 Census data for Historical purposes. ZIP*Data II is divided amongst two (2) tables and uses American Community Survey (ACS) 2019 data, which is updated once a year, whereas Census data is updated every 10 years.
There will no longer be a separate download for ZIP*Data Classic (<code>ZD_YYYYMM</code>) after '''October 22, 2022'''; however, ZIP*Data Classic will still be available within the Legacy folder of the ZIP*Data II download.

Standalone Version Deprecated

Based on Survey Feedback, we have decided to include ZIP*Data Classic within a “legacy” folder of the ZIP*Data II download (ZD2_YYYYMM.zip) for those that still need extra time to make the switch beginning November 2022. There is no end-of-life plan at this time.

There will no longer be a separate download for ZIP*Data Classic (ZD_YYYYMM) after October 22, 2022; however, ZIP*Data Classic will still be available within the Legacy folder of the ZIP*Data II download.

Please see the Product Advisory to learn more about the differences between ZIP*Data Classic and ZIP*Data II.
