SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

Given the rapid demographic changes 

experienced in recent years and the 

strong expectation that such changes 

will continue and accelerate, the oncea-decade detailed data collection as part 

of a decennial census is no longer 

acceptable. To meet the needs and 

expectations of the country, the Census 

Bureau developed the American 

Community Survey. This survey collects 

detailed population and housing data 

every month and provides tabulations of 

these data on a yearly basis. In the past, 

the long-form data were collected only 

at the time of each decennial census. 

The American Community Survey 

allowed the Census Bureau to remove 

the long form from the plans for the 

2010 Census, thus reducing operational 

risks, improving accuracy, and 

providing more relevant data. After 

years of development and testing, the 

American Community Survey began full 

implementation in households in 

January 2005 and in group quarters 

(GQs) in January 2006. 

The American Community Survey 

provides more timely information for 

critical economic planning by 

governments and the private sector. In 

the current information-based economy, 

federal, state, tribal, and local decision 

makers, as well as private business and 

non-governmental organizations, need 

current, reliable, and comparable 

socioeconomic data to chart the future.
