Buying a home is often one of the most expensive and emotional purchases in your lifetime.  Using open data from sources such as the American Community Survey (ACS), Zillow, the leading real estate and rental marketplace, wants "to make sure consumers armed with data are starting on their best foot." 

Check out the U.S. Census Bureau's newest Stats in Action video to learn how Zillow builds products using ACS statistics.  These products empower consumers to make better decisions about mortgage affordability, when to buy or sell, housing value, and more.
