This comprehensive course covers the American Community Survey (ACS), the Census Bureau's largest survey, which provides data for over 40 topics at the national level down to the block group level.
This course is designed for researchers, students, grant writers, local planners, business owners, and those who want to better understand the fundamentals of the ACS as you use our data.
Module 5: Unlocking the Potential of the ACS Summary File and Public Use Microdata Sample Files
American Community Survey Summary Files allow you to download and use large volumes of data that can be useful for those who need more than just one or two tables. Public Use Microdata Sample files are a downloadable subsample of ACS records from individuals or households.
Generally, these access methods benefit those who would like to use these data to run their own statistical analysis. In this module, we offer important background information that will help you get started when accessing these products and locate supporting resources.
