“Why We Ask”, a new U.S. Census Bureau infographic in the Measuring America series, explains the important role the American Community Survey plays in the future of America’s planning needs.
The survey asks questions about our lives – how old we are, how much we earn, whether we work or go to school, how much we pay in rent or on a mortgage, whether we need assistance with daily routines and more. These 72 questions provide an annual portrait of the nation and our communities that America can use to assess the past and plan the future.
