If I remember correctly, it was the same in 1920 and 1930. Ancestry and other companies are not allowed access until that date either. A few months after all will be indexed, unless the above companies do something against character. The only one the census bureau had indexed was the 1900, because many states didn't have birth records. They created it for the reason my example will show. My grandmother was born in Chicago in 1905. No birth records, so for proving she could get Social Security, she needed to show her age using the census. For the 1910, they indexed only those states that didn't have BCs yet. For the 1880, they indexed only the families that contained a 'below 10 years old child'. This is business a usual. No panic.
