| Summary: | The American Community Survey (ACS) is a nationwide survey
designed to provide communities a fresh look at how they are changing.
It will replace the decennial long form in future censuses and is a
critical element in the Bureau of the Census reengineered 2010
census. The American Community Survey is conducted under the authority
of Title 13, United States Code, Sections 141 and 193, and response is
mandatory. The scope of the 1996 ACS was limited to housing units,
occupied and vacant, in four sites: (1) Brevard County, Florida, a
single county MSA, (2) Rockland County, New York, NY Primary
Metropolitan Statistical Area (PMSA), (3) Multnomah County, Oregon,
and the city of Portland, Oregon, a large nonmetropolitan county that
is part of multiple county PMSA (includes the entire city of Portland
which is located primarily in Multnomah County but also extends into
Washington and Clackamas Counties), (4) Fulton County, Pennsylvania, a
nonmetropolitan county that does not have a countywide address system
at this time, and does not plan to convert to a countywide address
system at the time of the survey. |
