The U.S. Census Bureau requested that the Committee on National Statistics (CNSTAT) convene this workshop on the benefits to a broad array of non-federal users of the data products from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (ACS). The workshop will also address the burden on the American public of responding to the ACS questions. A workshop on the benefits of the ACS is timely because the survey has just completed its first full cycle of releasing 1-year,
3-year, and 5-year period estimates (for 2009, 2007-2009, and 2005-2009, respectively), and there is need to take stock of user experience with the data and to identify priority uses for the future. The workshop is part of a larger review the Census Bureau is conducting to assess the overall mission, vision, goals, and objectives of the ACS. The Bureau’s review also includes examining the data products along with the methods for conducting and managing the survey. |
