ACS Module 4: Guidance for American Community Survey (ACS) Data Users​

Data seekers often have more complex questions about when to use the 1-year versus 5-year data, how to compare ACS estimates over time, or how to compare them with decennial census data. Module 4 will address those questions and introduce resources for answering those questions such as sample ACS questionnaires, subject definitions, handbooks, and important information webpages. We will also discuss how Margin of Error is a tool for determining the accuracy of estimates and quickly introduce you to a variety of data tools.
