Details

The American Community Survey, administered by the US Census Bureau, is given every year to a random sample of about 3.5 million households (about 3% of all US households). Data on a random sample of 1% of all US residents are made public (after ensuring anonymity), and we have selected a random sub-sample of n = 1000 from the 2010 data for this dataset.
