Census Bureau Releases New American Community Survey Selected Population Tables and American Indian and Alaska Native Tables
JUNE 15, 2023 — The U.S. Census Bureau today released new detailed social, economic, housing and demographic statistics for hundreds of race, tribal, Hispanic origin and ancestry populations based on the 2017-2021 American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year estimates. These data tables are typically released every five years and provide the most detailed information about populations that are not published in the annual ACS, 5-year data products. This is the third time the Census Bureau has released these detailed 5-year estimates. Previous releases are available from the 2011-2015 and 2006-2010 ACS 5-year estimates.
“The Selected Population Tables and the American Indian and Alaska Native Tables provide a unique and vital look at socioeconomic and housing data that are essential to these smaller populations,” said Rachel Marks, chief of the Racial Statistics Branch. “These tables provide communities with specialized statistics to support their needs.”
According to the newly released statistics, 2.7 million U.S. residents identified as American Indian and Alaska Native alone, and 6.3 million as American Indian and Alaska Native alone or in combination with one or more other races from 2017 to 2021.
 New on America Counts
Detailed Characteristics of Hundreds of Race/Ethnic and Tribal Groups
How does the Filipino population differ from the total Asian population in the United States? Which Asian group is the oldest or the largest? Is the Native Hawaiian population larger than all other Pacific Islander groups?
New American Community Survey (ACS) population tables released today contain the answers and a trove of other detailed data on hundreds of race, Hispanic origin, ancestry and tribal groups.
We release ACS characteristics for race and ethnic groups every year but the new 2017-2021 ACS Selected Population Tables (SPT) and American Indian and Alaska Native Tables (AIANT) is an even broader release that covers a 5-year period and offers social, economic, housing and demographic characteristics of more population groups at numerous geographic levels.
