Abstract:
|
Since there was no long-form census in 2010, American Community Survey data have become the most relevant and timely source for a broad range of social and economic statistics, especially for small geographic areas. In December 2010, the Census Bureau released the first-ever 5-year estimates from the ACS. This roundtable will discuss the potential uses of these data, as well as the ways in which the Census Bureau could change or improve ACS data products in the next few years.
