approximately 3,000 residential
addresses per month in Puerto Rico and
refer to the survey as the PRCS.
In January 2006, the Census Bureau
implemented ACS data collection for
the entire national population by
including a sample of 20,000 GQ
facilities and a sample of 200,000
residents living in GQ facilities in the 50
states and the District of Columbia along
with the annual household sample. A
sample of 100 GQs and 1,000 GQ
residents was also selected for
participation in the PRCS.
Starting with the June 2011 mail
panel, the Census Bureau increased the
annual sample size for the ACS to
3,540,000 households (or 295,000
households per month) in the 50 states
and the District of Columbia.
The primary need for continued full
implementation of the ACS is to provide
comparable data at the census tract and
block group level. These data are
needed by federal agencies and others to
provide assurance of long-form type
data availability since the elimination of
the long form from the 2010 Census.
State and local governments are
becoming more involved in
administering and evaluating programs
traditionally controlled by the federal
government. This devolution of
responsibility is often accompanied by
federal funding through block grants.
The data collected via the ACS will be
useful not only to the federal agencies
but also to state, local, and tribal
governments in planning,
administering, and evaluating programs.
The ACS provides more timely data
for use in area estimation models that
provide estimates of various concepts
for small geographic areas. In essence,
detailed data from national household
and GQ surveys (whose samples are too
small to provide reliable estimates for
states or localities) can be combined
with data from the ACS to create
reliable estimates for small geographic
areas.
We will also continue to examine the
operational issues, research the data
quality, collect cost information and
make recommendations in the future for
this annual data collection. Data users
can use information from this survey to
help evaluate the ACS program and to
give feedback to the Census Bureau to
help in our evaluations.
Affected Public: Households or
individuals.
Frequency: The ACS is conducted
monthly. Respondents are asked to give
only a one-time response.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
Legal Authority: Title 13 U.S.C.,
Sections 141, 193, and 221.
