American Community Survey Data

The American Community Survey (ACS) collects and produces population and housing information every year instead of every ten years like the Decennial Census. American Community Survey data is collected from a sample of the population rather than from the whole population. As a result all ACS data are survey estimates, and not total counts. The ACS also provides economic data (income, employment, poverty, housing cost, etc.) that is not available in the Decennial Census.
