The American Community Survey provides a wide range of important statistics about all communities in the country. The American Community Survey gives communities the current information they need to plan investments and services. Retailers, homebuilders, police departments, and town and city planners are among the many private- and public-sector decision makers who count on these annual results.

If you have questions about this survey, please call our Customer Services Center on 1 (800) 923-8282.

Thank you,
