The U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS) is a vital source of information that helps communities, businesses and state and local governments invest, provide services and plan for the future. With statistics on age, income level, education, occupation and veterans status, the ACS enables decision-makers to appropriately fund school-lunch programs, place new hospitals, build new businesses and take other actions that lead to healthy towns and cities.  This Infographic summarizes some of the ways that community members might use ACS data in their jobs and lives.
