Outline• Datasets: 2010 Census and ACS

• 2010 Census: Race/Ethnicity, Age, Sex, Housing Units, Households, Household Relationship

• ACS: Poverty, Income, Education, Health Insurance

• Other Demographic Data

• Resources for Data Users

2010 Census and ACS

The 2010 Census shows the number of

people who live in the U.S. and the

American Community Survey shows

how people live

2010 Census

Use data from the 2010 Census to

obtain counts of population and

housing units and their basic

characteristics (sex, age, race, Hispanic

origin, household composition,

occupancy and homeowner status)

2010 Census

• April 1, 2010• An “actual enumeration” (The 2010 Census aims to count all U.S. residents—citizens and non-citizens alike)

• Only 10 questions on the 2010 Census

form

ACS

Use data from the American Community

Survey to obtain detailed demographic,

social, economic, and housing

characteristics, such as income, poverty,

employment, and educational attainment.

ACS

• An ongoing survey that provides data

every year

• A sample of the population• All ACS data are survey estimates. To help you interpret the reliability of the estimate, the Census Bureau publishes a margin of error (MOE) for every ACS estimate.

• 600 to 3,000 population• 240 to 1,200 housing units

Central axis describes a nesting relationship

• Cities and towns -- incorporated • Census Designated Places (CDPs)

Blocks are not defined by populationand are the smallest geographic level

at which data are ever released (Decennial Census, not the ACS)

•3.8 Million

•400,000 (12%) growth 2000-2010
