Decennial Census Decennial Census
•In Census 2000, the census used 2 forms
1.“short” form – asked for basic demographic and housing information, such as age, sex, race, how many people lived in the housing unit, and if the housing unit was owned or rented by the resident
2.“long” form – collected the same information as the short form but also collected more in-depth information such as income, education, and language spoken at home
•Only a small portion of the population, asample of 1 in 7 households, received the long form.
![Page 7: 11 The Census for School Districts: American Community Survey from the Census Bureau and School District Tabulations from the US Department of Education.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e165503460f94b01931/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Since 2000, the Census Bureau has collected long form data as a sample
and releases it as the American Community Survey (ACS)
Since 2000, the Census Bureau has collected long form data as a sample
and releases it as the American Community Survey (ACS)
• The 2010 Census will focus only on counting the entire U.S. population – the short form data
• The sample data from the long form are now collected every year and reported in ACS.

American Community Survey Period Estimates
American Community Survey Period Estimates
• ACS estimates are period estimates, describing the average characteristics over a specified period
• Contrast with point-in-time estimates that describe the characteristics of an area on a specific date (like 2000 Census)
• 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year estimates are released for geographic areas that meet specific population thresholds
![Page 14: 11 The Census for School Districts: American Community Survey from the Census Bureau and School District Tabulations from the US Department of Education.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e165503460f94b01931/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

American Community SurveyKey Differences from Census 2000American Community SurveyKey Differences from Census 2000
• The goal of ACS is to produce data comparable to the Census 2000 long form data
• These estimates will cover the same small areas as Census 2000 but with smaller sample sizes
• Smaller sample sizes for 5-year ACS estimates results in reductions in the reliability of estimates
![Page 15: 11 The Census for School Districts: American Community Survey from the Census Bureau and School District Tabulations from the US Department of Education.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e165503460f94b01931/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

American Community SurveyKey Differences from Census 2000American Community SurveyKey Differences from Census 2000
• Beginning in 2010, data for small geographic areas will be produced every year versus once every 10 years
• Census 2000 data described the population and housing as of April 1, 2000 while ACS data describe a period of time and require data for 12 months, 36 months, or 60 months

The newest data is 2006-2008 ACS Social, Economic, Housing, and Demographic 3-Year Estimates
On October 28, 2009, the Census Bureau released the 2006-2008 ACS 3-year estimates. These estimates are based on data collected from January 2006 through December 2008. The estimates are published for geographic areas with populations of 20,000 or more, 131 Michigan school districts.
![Page 18: 11 The Census for School Districts: American Community Survey from the Census Bureau and School District Tabulations from the US Department of Education.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649e165503460f94b01931/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Using the ACS 3-Year DataUsing the ACS 3-Year Data
• Comparing 2006-2008 ACS 3-Year Data with Census 2000 Data - The Census Bureau supports comparisons made between the 2006-2008 ACS 3-year data and Census 2000 data but cautions users about important differences between the two data sets. Item by item guidance is provided http://www.census.gov/acs/www/UseData/compACS2006-2008.htm
• Comparing 2006-2008 ACS 3-Year Data with 2008 ACS 1-Year Data - When comparing estimates across geographies or small population groups, users should compare the same period length for each estimate. Whenever you are comparing state-level data with sub-state data for an area with a population below 65,000 you should use the 3-year estimates for the state to compare with the 3-year estimates for the sub-state area.
• Comparing 2006-2008 ACS 3-Year Data with 2005-2007 ACS 3-Year Data - Because of the complexities of interpretation, the Census Bureau discourages direct comparisons between estimates for overlapping periods. Ideally comparisons should be made based on non-overlapping periods (e.g. comparing a 2005-2007 ACS 3-year estimate with a 2008-2010 ACS 3-year estimate).

• 1,358 detailed tables • Base tables are denoted with a “B” in the
unique table ID, e.g.. B02001• Collapsed versions of base tables are
identified with a “C,” e.g. C02001.• Collapsed tables are sometimes available
when base tables are suppressed.• Collapsed tables are not available for all
ACS base tables.

ACS School District Tabulation unique characteristics
• 61 tables exist with an alphabetic suffix – indicating they are repeated for nine major race and Hispanic/Latino groups. These selected tables are repeated by the following: White alone, Black alone, etc.
• Unlike ACS data, SDT includes iterations for race and ethnicity together; Black alone, not Hispanic or Latino and Black Hispanic or Latino.

• Population tables begin with letter P• Housing tables begin with letter H• Some tables begin with PCT or HCT.• Tables become more complex as
numbers get larger.• Print out the table outlines if you prefer
to view tables (I always use the table outlines)

• Educational Attainment• Income• Poverty• Employment• Families and Households etc.
But there’s lots of repetition in the different files.

• P148A-I: Sex by Educational Attainment P148A-I: Sex by Educational Attainment for the Population 25 years and overfor the Population 25 years and over for White alone, Black alone, American Indian alone, Hispanic, Asian alone, 2+races, White alone and non Hispanic. (17 x 9)

What happens with School District Tabulation when the 5 year average
is available?
• Then only the 5 year data will be available on the NCES website.The Universes from the 2000 data will probably all be available.
• The enrollment categories will remain the same.
• Not clear how many longitudinal files will be maintained by NCES as the size (read, cost) increases.
