The report offers raw data with accompanying tables, graphs, or charts to show changes or trends in the data and how they are reflected in the County, all drawn from reliable and authoritative data sources. The overall purpose of the survey is to provide a convenient, organized summary and reference document for the general public, M-NCPPC, and local governments and to provide information to assist in planning and policymaking that would affect Prince George’s County. The Prince George’s County Planning Department expects to produce regular updates of the survey.

Note About the 2023 Edition of the Population, Housing, and Economic Survey: New data in this report focus on the data releases from the U.S. Bureau of the Census’s American Community Survey (ACS) for 2021 estimates as well as data from some other federal agencies (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and Bureau of Economic Analysis. The ACS data reflect a 5-year sample survey (2017-2021) and is the latest ACS data available. We urge readers and those who use this report as a resource for research not to make direct comparisons to previous editions of the report when analyzing data about Prince George’s County to avoid errors or misinterpretations. In recent years, lower response rates to the survey, both locally and nationally, do not allow for statistically sound, annual analyses of data about the County or many other locations and jurisdictions. We accommodate this by providing and analyzing 2021 data in the proper context. For further information and explanation, please refer to the methodology section at the end of this report.
