Dear NALEO Member and Community Leader,
Every month, the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS) collects data from households across every state, D.C., and Puerto Rico - capturing the shifting demographics and needs that shape how our communities live, work, and thrive.
As a leader, the data you use is only as strong as the tools that produce it. The ACS is one of the most powerful - informing decisions on affordable housing, healthcare access, workforce development, and education funding in communities like yours.
Watch our video to learn why the ACS matters - and share it with your constituents and colleagues.
