| Summary |
The American Community Survey (ACS) provides continuous measurement through each decade and in between decennial censuses. Now that this survey is nearly 10 years old, the U.S. Census Bureau asked the National Research Council's Committee on National Statistics to review the survey's current operations and identify opportunities for refinement and development. It particular, the Bureau was interested in identifying methods that could improve the quality of the data available for small geographic areas and population groups and changes that would increase the survey's efficiency in responding to new data needs. This report presents the findings and recommendations of this review. |
