I live in a cooperative. How do I answer the utilities questions on the American Community Survey (ACS)?


In many cases, residents living in housing units classified as "cooperatives" often do not pay separate utility bills. They pay a "co-op fee" that includes payment for various utilities. In the ACS, if you live in this type of situation, estimate the amount for each utility included in the "co-op fee," and enter those amounts in question 11 of the housing section.
