The CMSL is published every two years.  The InfoCenter is updated with the new data at the time the publication is made available for purchase.

The CMSL has been printed biennially for almost 20 years.  Publications were printed and made available to the public in 1991, 1993, 1995, 1997, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2007, and 2009-10.  The 1997 publication was the first to have been produced in the style of the current implementation:  large format, wire bound copy with maps and tabular data accompanying each indicators.  With data collection methodologies remaining similar or identical to 1997 methods, trend data analysis is available through that year.
