Data Tables & Tools
Data Profiles Selector
Data Profiles consist of four tables (Social, Economic, Housing, Demographic) to give a broad statistical view of a particular geography. We provide an easy to use Data Profiles geography selector for the most popular geographies: state, county and place. Our full data website, American FactFinder, provides additional geographies for this table type and many more.
Narrative Profiles
The only place to find the current Narrative Profiles is right here on American Community Survey website. Narrative Profiles contain much of the same information found in the Data Profiles, except it is a text-based report with plenty of colorful graphs and charts. Use the map selector or the dropdown boxes to generate a Narrative Profile for your favorite place.
Subject Tables
More interested in a particular topic than a particular geography? Check out our listing of ACS Subject Tables. Subject tables have both numbers and percentages making them the versatile choice for data seekers. You can search/filter the listing, and then link to American Factfinder (AFF) where you can change geographies and go back in time! Choose your subject table here!
American FactFinder
American FactFinder (AFF) is by far the most popular of our data dissemination tools. FactFinder houses almost all of the ACS data tables (sometimes referred to as "data products") produced by the American Community Survey including some of the options listed above for all available geographies.
