Definition

Data Source
Population Reference Bureau, Analysis of data from the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey, 2005 through 2019, 2021.
Beginning in January 2005, the U.S. Census Bureau expanded the ACS sample to 3 million households (full implementation), and in January 2006 the ACS included group quarters. The ACS, fully implemented, is designed to provide annually updated social, economic, and housing data for states and communities. (Such local-area data have traditionally been collected once every ten years in the long form of the decennial census.)
