Description: "The Who What, and Where of America: Understanding the American Community Survey covers each U.S. state, county, metropolitan area, and city with a population of 20,000 or more."--Back cover.
Notes: "The ACS replaced the decennial census long form in 2010 and collect long-form-type information on a continuing basis, rather than every 10 years, providing more current data. With the introduction of data on unmarried partner households, health insurance coverage, and median real estate tax in the third edition, this fourth edition of The Who, What, and Where of America continues to present the increasingly expanding data on these hot topics. ACS data for the years 2010 through 2012 were used to present a concise resource of information that tells a story about America--its population, levels of education, types of employment and housing, and patterns of migration and transportations--in one convenient volume."--Page 4 of cover.

"More ACS resources": pages xxv-xxvi.
