Abstract:

In response to the need for more accurate, timely, and comparable information, the Census Bureau successfully reinvented a portion of the decennial census by developing the American Community Survey (ACS). The ACS will provide updated social, economic, and housing information for local areas every year instead of once every ten years. This roundtable discussion will touch on the difficulties and challenges of collecting long form decennial data in Census 2000 and the resulting planning efforts for a reengineered 2010 Census.
