ACS - Sociodemographics (USA, Census Block Groups, 2018)

The American Community Survey (ACS) is an ongoing survey that provides vital information on a yearly basis about the US nation and its people. Information from the survey generates data that help determine how more than $675 billion in federal and state funds are distributed each year.

Through the ACS, we know more about jobs and occupations, educational attainment, veterans, whether people own or rent their homes, and other topics. Public officials, planners, and entrepreneurs use this information to assess the past and plan the future.

The data is aggregated at the census block group level.
