Will the American Community Survey (ACS) records be released after 72 years, like the Decennial Census?


Yes, the American Community Survey (ACS) is subject to the 72-year rule. In 1991, the Census Bureau and National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) amended the 1952 agreement to clarify that the 72-year rule was applicable to surveys, as well as censuses.
