American Community Survey (ACS)

This US Census survey, conducted for the first time in 2000, provides social and economic data never before available. Survey data does not take the place of the intercensus population estimates, the Current Population Survey, or Bureau of Labor Statistics unemployment data, which should be considered the primary authorities on their respective data sets.

This ACS is designed to provide communities with data commonly collected in the decennial census long form (Summary File 3 or sample data), but not previously available in the years between censuses. The links provided below contain data only for the Kansas City region through 2004. In 2005 data for the Peer Metros is also included..

In 2005, data variables were collected and analyzed for geographic areas with populations of 65,000 or more (before 2005, only areas with population of 100,000 or more produced enough data for these sample estimates.) For the first time the ACS includes school districts that match the population criteria. In 2006 data for the group quarters population is added, giving a much more complete picture of the total population of an area.

Because of the growing number of geographies starting in 2005, the profiles are presented in an index, similar to the Census 2000 Profiles, and different from prior ACS updates. There are four profiles: Demographic, Social, Economic and Housing.

As the ACS is fully implemented over the coming decade, data for smaller communities will be available.
