American Community Survey Workshop
The Committee on National Statistics, with sponsorship from the Census Bureau, is convening a Workshop on the Benefits (and Burdens) of the American Community Survey, ideally to occur in mid-June. This workshop is intended to showcase the nonfederal uses of the ACS, while at the same time taking stock of the burdens that it imposes on the public, and to suggest priorities as ACS data users transition from the products of a long-form sample to the range of ACS products.
The steering committee is engaging in a broad scan of users (and potential users) of the ACS, to help shape a useful and informative agenda. At this stage, the steering committee would greatly appreciate it if you could send a brief email, indicating whether:
- you are an ACS user, whether of 1-, 3-, or 5-year estimates, or particularly of the PUMS or summary files;
- you are doing or have done work using ACS data that might be appropriate to showcase at the workshop; and
- you know of people doing applied work with the ACS.
Please send responses to Ken Hodges.
