摘要

The American Community Survey (ACS) is a new approach to collecting reliable, timely information needed by local communities. It collects much of the same data previously collected in the decennial census sample and is a critical element in the U.S. Census Bureaus 2010 Decennial Census Program. The ACS is a major innovative step designed to meet the nation's need for the kind of information that has previously been available only once every ten years from the decennial census sample.
