New Wave of Socioeconomic Data From 2004 American Community Survey
On Thursday, November 17, the Census Bureau released a second wave of data based on the 2004 American Community Survey, more data for areas of 250,000 or more people. In all, we released about 670 tables to supplement the 200-plus tables released in August. Users will especially appreciate the new Subject tables that look very much like the popular Quick Tables released for the Census 2000 Summary Files. To find the ACS data, go to the American FactFinder and click on "Data Sets" and then on "2000-2004 American Community Survey" tab. For a list of the new Subject tables, go to the American Community Survey page, click on "Guide to the ACS Data Products" and then on "Quick Guide to ACS Data in American FactFinder." Go to Appendix 2.
You can view the complete list of new ACS Base tables at
(http://www.census.gov/acs/www/acs-php/all_topics_search.php?acs_topic=all); go to the American Community Survey page and click on the the "Guide to the ACS Data Products" and then on "Links to Table Shells." In the table finder box, click on "All Topics."
