Housing
Mortgage status
Tenure
Family
Age
Race and ethnicity
And more
Census demographics are point estimates, representing April 1 of the census year.
Esri's ACS data provides much of the information previously available through the decennial census. ACS uses a continuous measurement or "rolling" sample, in which a small percent of the population is sampled every month. The ACS is updated and released more frequently than the decennial census—every year instead of every ten years. Smaller sample sizes and variable collection times have introduced a margin of error into their estimates. ACS data categories offered by Esri include the following:
Population—Total population, language, poverty
School and work—School enrollment, travel time and means of transportation to work
Households—Total households, tenure, families, poverty status, rent, vehicles available, mortgage status
Housing—Total housing units, number of units in structure, year built
Health Insurance, public assistance income |
