American
Community Survey (ACS)
The American Community Survey is a new nationwide survey designed to provide communities a fresh look at how they are changing. It will replace the long form in future censuses and is a critical element in the Census Bureau’s reengineered 2010 census plan.

Special
Census
A special census is
a basic enumeration of population, housing units, and group quarters
conducted by the Census Bureau at the request of a governmental
unit. When local officials believe there has been a significant
population change in their community or due to annexation, a special
census may be in order. A certified official population increase
resulting from the special census may produce an increase in state
revenue sharing or other benefits.
