acs-alert -- Information about the American Community Survey

About acs-alert

This is list has been developed to provide periodic e-mail communication to inform you about news, events, data releases, congressional action, and other developments associated with the American Community Survey. The American Community Survey is the U.S. Census Bureau's new approach for collecting accurate and timely socioeconomic and housing information about our nation, the states, cities and communities. As part of the plan to reengineer the decennial census, the American Community Survey will replace the census long form in 2010, pending congressional funding. It will provide data every year to evaluate programs and chart the future. To see the collection of prior postings to the list, visit the acs-alert Archives. The current archive is only available to the list members.
