23. What Is the American Community Survey?
A large, continuous demographic survey
Produces annual and multi-year estimates of the characteristics of the population and housing
Produces characteristics, not a population count
Produces information for small areas including tracts, block groups and population subgroups - updated every year
Key component of reengineered 2010 census

24. Full Implementation
(Pending Congressional Funding)
Implement a national sample of 3 million addresses in every county, American Indian and Alaska Native area, and Hawaiian Home Land in the United States, and in Puerto Rico
Provide profiles every year for communities of 65,000 or more
Provide 3- to 5-year cumulations for communities of less than 65,000 population

26. Census 2000 Supplementary Survey (C2SS)
Census 2000 included a supplementary survey of 700,000 addresses in 1203 counties (operational test to determine whether Census Bureau could conduct ACS at the same time, but independent of the decennial census)
The survey was conducted throughout 2000 using the American Community Survey questionnaire and methodology.
Supplementary Survey data similar to that obtained by the Census 2000 long-form, were released in November of 2001 for the nation, all 50 states and counties and places with populations of 250,000 or greater.

27. Continuing the Supplementary Survey
In 2001, 2002, and 2003 the Census Bureau continued the survey of 700,000 addresses in 1203 counties using the American Community Survey questionnaire and methodology.
