This training session will review different ways to access ACS data from
the Census Bureau webpage. On December 9, the Census Bureau will
release the first 3-year tabulation (2005 through 2007) from the
American Community Survey. Data for areas reaching a population
threshold of 20,000 will be released. Previous ACS results were limited
to areas that reached a population threshold of 65,000, so many more
counties and cities will be included in this release. The geographic
units in which you are likely to be most interested in are: County,
Place (cities and Census-designated Places), and PUMA. Approximately
60% of counties in the U.S. will be included.
This training session IS NOT a basic introduction on the American
Community Survey. Please review Census Bureau materials on the American
Community Survey at : http://www.census.gov/acs/www/SBasics/
The Census Bureau has also released a new series of guidebooks for the
ACS called the Compass series. These are available at:
http://www.census.gov/acs/www/UseData/Compass/handbook_def.html
The American FactFinder is very user-friendly, but if you haven't used
it before, this short session will make you more comfortable with
finding tables, and saving the data to your own computer.
The SAME materials will be covered on both days with the same
presenters, please attend only one.
