| What is the American Community Survey? | |||||
| The American Community Survey is a survey conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau in every county, American Indian and Alaska Native Area, and Hawaiian Home Land. The American Community Survey provides critical economic, social, demographic, and housing information to this country’s communities every year. Is the American Community Survey Part of the 2010 Census? Yes. The 2010 Census will focus on counting the population. The American Community Survey will provide communities every year the same kind of detailed information previously available only when the U.S. Census Bureau conducted a population census every 10 years. The American Community Survey began in 1996 in a sample of counties across the country. Today the survey is conducted in all U.S. counties and in Puerto Rico, where it is called the Puerto Rico Community Survey. | |||||
