American Community Survey Alert, Number 57(released August 20, 2008) Printer Friendly Version of Alert 57Informing you about news, events, data releases, congressional action, and other developments associated with the American Community Survey (ACS). News in this Alert* A New Look for the ACS WebsiteThe Census Bureau today released the first of several planned changes to the ACS Website. The redesign, implemented in part as a response to numerous requests from data users and stakeholders, includes a streamlined main page where information is logically grouped allowing users to find what they are seeking more quickly and efficiently. A 2007 ACS Data Release page will feature the full 2007 ACS data release schedule and offer clearly-marked sections directing users to data products and guidance on making comparisons, information on using the 2007 data, and what's new for 2007. Users should find it easier to navigate the ACS Website and to locate and access the information they need. The updated Website may be viewed at: www.census.gov/acs. ** A Look Ahead - The First 2007 ACS DataThe Census Bureau will release income, poverty, and earnings data from the 2007 ACS, in conjunction with the Census Bureau's annual release of income, poverty, and health insurance data from the Annual Social and Economic Supplement to the Current Population Survey on August 26, 2008. The second release of 2007 ACS data will occur on September 23. The first set of three-year estimates for data collected between 2005 and 2007 will be released in December. These include the first ACS estimates for areas with populations between 20,000 and 64,999. ***Contact UsIf you have questions or comments about the American Community Survey, please call (800)923-8282 or e-mail cmo.acs@census.gov.
