2015 - 2019 American Community Survey

Every year, the U.S. Census Bureau contacts over 3.5 million households across the country to participate in the American Community Survey that provides the United States with critical information on a wide range of over 40 topics.

When you respond to the ACS, you are doing your part to help your community plan for hospitals and schools, support school lunch programs, improve emergency services, build bridges, and inform businesses looking to add jobs and expand to new markets, and more.  

Changes in America’s Demographic Landscape in Distinct 5-Year Periods

The U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (ACS), launched in 2005, was designed to keep pace with the nation’s increasing demand for timely and relevant data about the U.S. population and housing characteristics.

With the release of the 2015-2019 ACS 5-year estimates, the bureau now has three sets of 5-year estimates (2005-2009, 2010-2014, and 2015-2019) that do not overlap, which provide even more data for examining trends at the local level.

This is another step in fulfilling the vision for the ACS to provide government, businesses and the general public with more frequent data than the once-a-decade decennial census.
