In January 2005, the U.S. Census
Bureau began the nationwide mailing of the American Community Survey
(ACS). This historic new tool will give communities the information
they need to track annually how they are changing on a range of social,
economic, housing and demographic issues. The ACS is slated to replace
the decennial census “long form” in 2010.
