In June 2012, the Committee on National Statistics (sponsored by
the U.S. Census Bureau) convened a Workshop on the Benefits (and
Burdens) of the American Community Survey (ACS)---the detailed
demographic and economic survey that began full-scale data
collection in 2005 and that replaced the traditional "long form" in
the 2010 census. ACS data are used by numerous federal agencies to
administer programs, yet the ACS only moved from abstraction to
reality for most users in 2010, when the first ACS estimates for
small areas (based on 5 years of collected data) were made
available. Hence, the workshop marked the opportunity to develop a
picture of the breadth of the nonfederal user base of the
ACS---among them, the media, policy research and evaluation groups
(that distill ACS results for the media and broader public), state
and local agencies, businesses and economic development
organizations, and local and regional planning authorities---and to
gather information on users' experiences with the first full
releases of ACS products.
In addition to covering innovative uses of the information now
available on a continuous basis in the ACS, the workshop gave
expression to the challenges and burdens associated with the
survey: the time burden places on respondents, the challenges of
explaining and interpreting estimates with increased levels of
variability, and the privacy and confidentiality implications of
some of the ACS content. Benefits, Burdens, and Prospects of the
American Community Survey: Summary of a Workshop provides a factual
summary of the workshop proceedings and hints at the contours of
the ACS user constituency, providing important input to the ongoing
review and refinement of the ACS program.
