Many people associate the U.S. Census Bureau with the decennial census, the once a decade count of every person living in the United States. But that?s not all we do. The Census Bureau conducts more than 130 censuses and surveys each year.

The American Community Survey (ACS) is one of those surveys ? and, its data reflect what our communities look like, how they have changed, and how those changes impact our daily lives. Its data, along with data collected from our other surveys, also affect where, and when, new roads, schools, after-school programs, or hospitals are specifically placed in our communities.

The ACS plays a major role in our ever-changing and growing communities. The data it collects provides a detailed portrait of the social, economic, housing, and demographic characteristics of America?s communities ? these data help policymakers, business leaders, community planners and others, make informed decisions. And, as an ongoing survey, the ACS provides vital longitudinal data crucial for detailed population and housing information about our nation.
