U.S. Census Bureau Announces ACS Online Response Option
The Census Bureau is pleased to announce that the American Community
Survey (ACS) will begin offering an online response option for most
respondents within the next few weeks. In 2013, most housing units
sampled for the ACS will be mailed a package introducing the survey and
explaining the survey response process. These respondents then access a
secure website that will present the 2013 ACS questions, including new
questions about computer and Internet use. If respondents do not access
the online response option, alternative paper, telephone, and personal
interviewing options are available. The first data products featuring
data collected via the online response option will be available in late
2014. To learn more about the changes or the internet data collection
