The American Community Survey (ACS) will include group quarters (GQ) population in its sample along with the household population when it is at full implementation in 2005. This paper will detail the plans on how the sample of GQs for 2005 was selected and will describe the plans for the estimation operations required to process that sample. Some of the more challenging issues regarding weighting the GQ data for ACS will be presented.
