It replaces the "long form" of the decennial census. This report of a panel of the National Research Council's Committee on National Statistics provides detailed, comprehensive analysis and guidance for users in federal, state, and local government agencies, academia, and the media." "Chapters for users cover the basics of how the ACS design and operations differ from the long-form sample, using the ACS for such applications as formula allocation of federal and stale funds, transportation planning, and public information; and challenges in working with ACS estimates that cover periods of 12, 36, or 60 months depending on the population size of an area." "The report also recommends priority areas for continued research and development by the Census Bureau to guide the evolution of the ACS."--Jacket 606 $aHousehold surveys$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$vCensus 615 0$aHousehold surveys 676 $a317.3 701 $aCitro$b Constance F$g(Constance Forbes),$f1942-$01804879 701 $aKalton$b Graham$0124277 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bPanel on the Functionality and Usability of Data from the American Community Survey. 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bCommittee on National Statistics. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910974697203321 996 $aUsing the American community survey$94363962 997 $aUNINA
