American Community Survey: First Release of 2005 Data

Look for the first release of 2005 data from the American Community Survey (ACS) in August. The initial release of data will include social and demographic characteristics (age, sex, race, Hispanic origin) for the nation, all 50 states and the District of Columbia, every congressional district and all counties and places with populations of 65,000 or more. At the end of August, economic characteristics will be disseminated in conjunction with the Census Bureau's annual release of income, poverty and health insurance data. In early October, housing characteristics data will be released, and finally, in November, selected population profiles with data by race, Hispanic origin and ancestry will be released. Comparable data from the Puerto Rico Community Survey also will be released following the same schedule.
