Notes:"The American Community Survey ... will replace the decennial census long form in 2010 and collect long-form-type information annually rather than only once every 10 years. ... The new ACS estimates combine three years of survey responses (2005-2007) to produce data for midsize communities ... the first update for communities with populations between 20,000 and 65,000 since the 2000 decennial census"-- p. ix, introduction.
"More ACS resources": p. xxv-xxvi.
"All ACS data are available through the Census Bureau's American FactFinder (AFF) Web site at . From the AFF home page, click on 'Data Sets' and then choose the 'American Community Survey' from the list of options in the drop-down menu"-- P. xxiii.
Summary:Covers each U.S. state, county, metropolitan area, and city with a population of 20,000 or more. It is designed to provide communities with a fresh look at how they are changing.
