Ongoing Surveys

A survey is a method of collecting and analyzing social, economic and geographic data. It provides information about the conditions of the United States, states and counties. Throughout the decade between censuses, we are continually conducting surveys to produce a general view and comprehensive study of the United States' social and economic conditions.

Staff from the Current Surveys Program conduct ongoing and special surveys about people and their characteristics. A network of professional field representatives gathers information from a sample of households, responding to questions about employment, consumer expenditures, health, housing and other topics.
