Kentucky ACS Data

 

The American Community Survey (ACS) is a new nationwide survey designed to provide communities a fresh look at how they are changing. It is intended to eliminate the need for the long form in the 2010 Census. The ACS collects information from U.S. households similar to what was collected on the Census 2000 long form, such as income, commute time to work, home value, veteran status, and other important data.

 

Note: If you would like information about comparing 2006 ACS data with 2005 ACS or 2000 Census Data, the Cenus Bureau Guide for comparing the ACS data gives an overview of the issues .   A handy quick reference for using the current and older data sets is available at the  Detailed Information On 2006 ACS Data Comparisons.

2005 ACS Data

In October 2006 the Census Bureau Released 2005 ACS Housing Profiles for areas with populations of 65,000 or more. For many communities these are the first estimates since the 2000 Census. Below are links to some of the 2005 Excel files of interest to Kentuckians. All of the 2005 ACS data (and prior years) are available at the ACS data sets page of the American Fact Finder. The profiles below are in Excel Workbooks that contains seven worksheets:

1) ACS Data Products (an index linked to the other six worksheets)
2) Base Tables (more detail than available in the profiles)
3) General Profile
4) Social Profile
5) Economic Profile
6) Housing Profile (note: includes all types of housing units and may not compare directly to housing data in the 2000 Census that had a universe of "specified housing units" which excluded condominiums, mobile homes and some other types of housing units)
7) Subject Tables

 

Note: Starting in 2006, the ACS data will include people living in households and group quarters (prisons, assisted living, dormitories, etc).  The 2005 profiles do not include people living in group quarters!
