Abstract:
|
The introduction of the American Community Survey (ACS) served two important functions - eliminating the need to collect detailed socioeconomic and housing data as part of the decennial enumeration and producing more up to date information for data users. Data that had historically been collected only once a decade from a sample of the population that received a "long form" are now collected continuously throughout the year by the ACS. While it was generally understood that eliminating the decennial census long form sample would simplify the 2010 Census of Population and Housing, it was also acknowledged that the critical need for detailed housing and socioeconomic data at small levels of geography still had to be met. This paper will describe the transition from collecting and producing this information in a decennial census environment to collecting and producing annual survey estima
