Surveys
A survey is
a method of collecting and analyzing social, economic, and geographic
data. It provides information about the conditions of the United
States, states and counties. Throughout the decade between censuses,
we are continually conducting surveys to produce a general view
and comprehensive study of the United States’ social and
economic conditions.
Ongoing
Surveys
Staff from the Current Surveys Program conduct ongoing and special
surveys about people and their characteristics. A network of
professional field representatives gathers information from
a sample of households, responding to questions about employment,
consumer expenditures, health, housing, and other topics.
Field representatives
will be conducting the following surveys by making personal
visits and/or telephone calls, to selected sample addresses,
in our region (Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi):
* collected in person or by phone in the Dallas region
# collected by the Bureau’s National Processing
Center by phone or mail.
