美国人口普查局于 2005 年启动了美国社区调查 (ACS)。它将通过每年更新统计数据来彻底改变人口普查数据的使用，而过去仅每 10 年收集一次。每年将公布65,000人及以上地区的统计数据。人口普查局将以“3 年平均值”的形式发布 20,000 至 64,999 地区的数据。第一个 3 年平均值将出现在 2008 年，涵盖 2005-2007 年。随后的数据将在接下来的三年内每年发布一次。 （例如，2006-2008 年、2007-2009 年）小于 19,999 的地区的统计数据将以 5 年期间平均值的形式公布，首次于 2010 年公布，涵盖 2005-2009 年。随后每年发布的数据将涵盖 2006-2010 年、2007-20011 年……本文提供了 ACS 的背景信息、它与十年一次的人口普查之间的异同、基于期间平均值的统计数据解释、ACS 与其他人口普查局之间的关系以及调查的预期未来。 (C) 2008 Elsevier Inc. 保留所有权利。
The Bureau of the Census initiated the American Community Survey (ACS) in 2005. It will revolutionize the use of census data by providing annual updates to statistics that in the past were collected only every 10 years. Statistics will be published for areas of 65,000 people or more every year. The Bureau of the Census will distribute data for areas of between 20,000 and 64,999 in "3-year period averages." The first 3 year average will appear in 2008 covering 2005-2007. Subsequent data will be issued annually for the following three year periods. (e.g., 2006-2008, 2007-2009) Statistics for areas smaller than 19,999 will be published in 5-year period averages, the first to be published in 2010 covering 2005-2009. Subsequent data to be issued annually will cover 2006-2010, 2007-20011,... This paper provides background information about ACS, similarities and differences between it and the decennial census, the interpretation of statistics based upon period averages, relationships among ACS and other Bureau of the Census Surveys, and the expected future of the survey.
