Census Bureau American Community Survey
The American Community Survey (ACS) is collected annually across the nation, and is responsible for capturing and measuring the changing social and economic characteristics of the U.S, unlike the decennial census snapshot, which is for congressional apportionment and legislative redistricting and is a complete count. The American Community Survey collects over 2 million samples a year. In order to produce reliable numbers the ACS combines data across multiple years, and as of 2010 the first 5-year (2005 – 2009) estimates are available. The following maps and summaries are from this release.
