2 What do I need to know before using ACS data and data products?

3 Estimates ACS data are estimates ACS data are not counts of the population or housing Population counts are produced from the decennial census –Counts are updated throughout the decade through the Population Estimates Program

44 Period estimates ACS estimates are period estimates Period estimates describe the average characteristics over a specific time period Contrast with point-in-time estimates that describe characteristics as of a specific date

5 Sampling Error The uncertainty associated with an estimate that is based on data gathered from a sample of the population rather than the full population Margin of error (MOE) measures the precision of an estimate at a given level of confidence MOEs at the 90% confidence level for all published ACS estimates
