What do I need to know before using ACS data
and data products?

Estimates
• ACS data are estimates
• ACS data are not counts of the population or housing
• Population counts are produced from the decennial census
– Counts are updated throughout the decade through the Population Estimates Program

Period estimates
• ACS estimates are period estimates
• Period estimates describe the average characteristics over a specific time period
• Contrast with point-in-time estimates that describe characteristics as of a specific date

Sampling Error
• The uncertainty associated with an estimate that is based on data gathered from a sample of the population rather than the full population
• Margin of error (MOE) measures the precision of an estimate at a given level of confidence
• MOEs at the 90% confidence level for all published ACS estimates
