Definitions:

• The American Community Survey (ACS) is conducted annually by the U.S. Census Bureau and is intended to replace the Census Long Form in 2010. It is intended only as an estimate of the population rather than a definitive count. Unlike previous years’ ACS, the 2009 ACS includes the population living in group quarters, such as college residence halls, group homes, military barracks, correctional facilities, workers’ dormitories, and homeless shelters. Group quarters populations tend to have different demographic and socioeconomic characteristics than the general public. The Census of Population and Housing is conducted once in 10 years and includes population living in group quarters.
