New 2010 Census Data To Be Released

Visit the American Factfinder at www.census.gov to access American Community Survey (ACS) Multi-Year Estimates. The U.S. Census Bureau just released for the first time five years for detailed information about American Communities. This is the first time that ACS data is available for all communities in the U.S.(annually from 2005).

Data includes:
familes and relationships, income and benefits, health insurance, education, veteran status, disabilities and commuting, and more.
