Communities

Survey provides demographic, economic and housing profiles to help
diverse communities make strategic plans for specific programs and
facilities.

Data
Collection and Processing — The
American Community Survey is conducted using the best self-response
techniques of the decennial combined with follow-up techniques that
produce high-quality data. Questionnaires were returned by mail
to the Census Bureau's processing center in Jeffersonville, Ind.,
where they were clerically edited. Forms that "passed the
edit" were then forwarded to the data entry unit to be keyed.

Families
— The U.S. Census Bureau
uses the American Community Survey data to measure demographic changes
and characteristics, determining the evolving needs of each new American
family.
|
Roads
and Transportation — Data
collected from the American Community Survey are used by transportation
planners to improve roads and modes of transportation and reduce traffic
congestion.
|
Education
— By the end of the decade,
the American Community Survey will become a primary source for state
and local estimates of school enrollment.

Older
Population — The
results of Census 2000 indicated the growth rate of the United States'
older population (55+) is at a record high. The American Community
Survey used relevant data to provide the community health care needs.
