The Census Bureau also submitted its planned subjects for the American Community Survey (ACS) — a new yearly survey that eliminates the need for a decennial long-form questionnaire, while providing key socioeconomic and housing data about the nation’s rapidly changing population every year rather than once a decade.

For more, see the Census Bureau news release.
