The days of having to wait a decade for updated census figures about a changing America will soon be behind us, thanks to the Census Bureau's new American Community Survey (ACS). By 2010, the ACS will replace the long-form census questionnaire. Starting in August 2006, demographic, social, economic, and housing characteristics will be available annually for areas with populations of 65,000 or more. For smaller areas, ACS data will be available in 3 -, or 5 - year averages, updated annually.
