This comprehensive course covers the American Community Survey (ACS), the Census Bureau's largest survey, which provides data for over 40+ topics at the national level down to the block group level.
This course is designed for researchers, students, grant writers, local planners, business owners, and those who want to better understand the fundamentals of the ACS as you use our data.
Module 4: Guidance for American Community Survey (ACS) Data Users
Data seekers often have complex questions about when to use the 1-year versus 5-year ACS data, how to compare ACS estimates over time, or how to compare them with decennial census data.
Module 4 addresses these questions and introduces supporting resources, such as sample ACS questionnaires, subject definitions, handbooks, and useful webpages. We also discuss how the margin of error is a tool for determining the accuracy of estimates, and we quickly introduce you to a variety of data tools.
