Census Bureau Releases ACS-Census 2000 Comparison Report on Selected Physical and Financial Housing CharacteristicsThe Census Bureau recently released the 10th and final report in a series designed to address operational and technical aspects of the ACS. The report provides a starting point for measuring and understanding the differences in the estimates of the physical and financial characteristics of the nation's housing between those produced in the past by decennial census samples and those that will be produced in the future by the ACS. The report compares single-year Census 2000 Supplementary Survey (C2SS) national and county-level estimates (selected counties only) with Census 2000 sample data. Here are some findings from this report:
The report found that housing estimates derived using the ACS methods and design are highly acceptable for use in all ways that decennial sample housing estimates have been used.
