The American Community Survey: Exploring a New Data Source for the Study of Migration
The American Community Survey: Exploring a New Data Source for the Study of Migration
Introduction
The American Community Survey (ACS) is a developmental program designed to potentially replace the decennial census long form in 2010.
As the major source of small area migration data with demographic detail, the phase-out of the long-form has important implications for migration research.
ACS data will also open up interesting new migration-related research opportunities.
