Description: Covers each U.S. state, county, metropolitan area, and city with a population of 20,000 or more. It is designed to provide communities with a fresh look at how they are changing.
Notes: "The ACS replaced the decennial census long form in 2010 and collect long-form-type information on a continuing bais, rather than every 10 years, providing more current data. This new edition of The Who, What, and Where of America is the first to include data on unmarried partner households, health insurance coverage, and median real estate tax. It uses the 2008-2010 ACS data 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."--Cover page 4.

"More ACS resources": pages xxv-xxvi.
