U.S. Census Bureau Releases Research Data from Study on Multi-Year Estimates

The Census Bureau has released research data on single and multi-year estimates in preparation for the 2008 release of official 3-year estimates from the American Community Survey (ACS). A total of 14 data sets were created for this study using data from 1999 to 2005: three 5-year estimates, five 3-year estimates, and six 1-year estimates. Data profiles that include demographic, social, economic, and housing characteristics are available for a broad set of geographic areas in 34 ACS Test counties. In addition to the online data profiles, background information about the study, methodology documentation, quality measures, and a set of questions and answers are available on the ACS web site under "Advanced Methodology."
