American Community Survey Gives Midsized Areas Their First Detailed Update Since 2000
New data released on December 9, 2008 by the U.S. Census Bureau gives more than 2,500 midsized counties, cities, and towns nationwide (those with populations between 20,000 and 64,999) their first statistical "portrait" since the 2000 Census on a wide range of key socioeconomic and housing topics.
These are the first American Community Survey (ACS) estimates that combine three years of survey responses (2005-2007) to produce data. The technique makes it possible to release a new set of multiyear estimates annually for smaller geographic areas. The three-year data can produce estimates for areas with populations as small as 20,000. Find out more about these new data today!
