Ancestry and FamilySearch and the 1950 U.S. Census

 

https://www.ancestry.com/c/1950-census

You can see that Ancestry.com will start indexing the 1950 Census when it is available but it will not be available until later on this year, perhaps by the summer. 

FamilySearch.org will be helping to make the 1950 U.S. Census browsable and then searchable through Ancestry's Community Project.

Quoting from the FamilySearch website.

The 1950 US Federal Census will be released on April 1, 2022, and the 1950 US Census Community Project will enlist an army of volunteers to help publish a free searchable index of all 151 million individuals included in this valuable record. Starting with an automated index created by Ancestry using handwriting recognition technology, volunteers will then have the opportunity to review and improve the index to ensure it is complete and accurate.
