About the American Community Survey (ACS)

Every year, the United States Census Bureau conducts a survey of over 3.5 million households in the United States. Households are sampled at random and data is collected to create up-to-date population records on social, economic, housing, and demographic statistics. This data is now available in easily accessible layers within ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World.
