How will this information be used?
The data from all interviews is summarized so that no one person can be identified. The summary
statistics are available on the ACS Web Site. [Fill 1: Federal, state, and local/ Federal, Puerto Rico, and
municipio] governments use the data as an information base for planning, administering and evaluating
government programs.
Businesses use the data to make informed decisions. For example, a business may look at the
education level of the residents of a community to see if that community would have the appropriate
workforce for that business.
The housing quality of an area can be assessed from the housing data collected in the [Fill 2:
ACS/PRCS]. Using the income data, the poverty level of an area can be determined.

How was I selected?
Your address was randomly selected from a list of residential addresses in your
[Fill: county/ municipio].

Why don't you select someone else?
Your address was randomly selected from a list of addresses, so we can't substitute anyone else's
address for yours. One of the advantages of a random sample is that we can use it to measure the
whole population without having to actually interview every household. But in order for it to work,
you can't pick and choose -- the sample has to be truly random. Your participation is very important if
we're going to be able to produce accurate statistics from this survey.

IS THIS SURVEY AUTHORIZED BY LAW?
This survey is authorized by Title 13, Section 141, 193, and 221, of the United States Code. The U.S.
Census Bureau is required by law to keep your information confidential. The Census Bureau is not
permitted to publicly release your responses in a way that could identify this household. Per the
Federal Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2015, your data are protected from cybersecurity risks
through screening of the systems that transmit your data.
IS THIS SURVEY LEGITIMATE?
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) oversees all Federal Government surveys. This office
gives clearance to conduct a survey by providing an approval number. The approval number must be
printed on every questionnaire. In addition, if requested, we must provide the approval number when
we call regardless if we reach a business or private address.
If someone calls claiming to be a Census Bureau employee and you are concerned whether
or not the survey is legitimate, ask the caller for the OMB approval number. If the caller
can’t provide the number, that very well could mean the purpose of the call is not legitimate.
The OMB approval number for the [Fill 1: ACS/PRCS] is: 0607-0810.
If the respondent has a copy of the [Fill 2: ACS-1/ACS-1 PR(SP)] questionnaire, read the statement
below.
For the [Fill 3: American/Puerto Rico] Community Survey, you can find the approval number on page
1 of the questionnaire in the bottom right corner.

Why can’t you get the information from other sources?
When it is possible to obtain data from other sources, the Census Bureau does use Administrative
Records. However, we have done extensive review of the Administrative Records available and have
found that they do not match our data needs. This is a function of the lack of availability of high
quality, National-level Administrative Records, as well as differences in the data definitions and

The [Fill: SURVEY_NAME] will provide more timely information for decision makers to plan

community leader said, "Guessing is always fun, but seldom effective." The [Fill 1: American/Puerto
Rico] Community Survey will provide communities with up-to-date housing and population data every
year.
By responding to the [Fill 1: American/Puerto Rico] Community Survey, you are helping your
community establish community goals, identify community problems and solutions, locate facilities
and programs, and measure the performance of programs.
The [Fill 1: American/Puerto Rico] Community Survey data are used by:
Local governments:
- - for budgeting, evaluating programs, and planning for community development projects.
Community Programs:
- - such as for the elderly, scout programs, libraries, churches, banks, hospitals, and other
community organizations, to provide services to the community and to locate buildings,
services, and programs.
Transportation planners (using summarized journey-to-work information):
- - to plan for peak volumes of traffic to reduce traffic congestion, plan for parking, and to
develop strategies such as car pooling programs and flexible work schedules.
- - to decide where to build new roads or add capacity to existing roads.
- - to develop transit systems such as light rail or subways by projecting rider ship.
- - by businesses, for determining the location of new buildings and services, such as banks
selecting sites for ATM machines.
Utility companies
- - to understand their customer bases so they can project future needs. Every time you
turn on your water faucet or a light switch in your home, summarized census data are
behind the services you receive.

The American
Community Survey

What Is the American
Community Survey?
The American Community Survey is a
survey conducted by the U.S. Census
Bureau. It provides information each
year about the social, economic, and
housing characteristics of the United
States. Previously, this information was
available only when the U.S. Census
Bureau conducted a population census
every 10 years. The American Community
Survey will ask you questions about your
household’s characteristics, including such
topics as education, employment, and
housing.
Only a small sample of addresses is
randomly selected to participate in
the American Community Survey and
they represent other addresses in the
community. A survey questionnaire is
delivered to a sample address to complete
and mail back. When households do not
mail back a questionnaire, the Census
Bureau attempts to contact the household
to complete the survey by phone or in
person.

Do I Have to Answer the
Questions on the American
Community Survey?
Yes, your response to this survey is
required by law (Title 13, United States
Code, Sections 141, 193, and 221).

How Will My Participation
Help Me and My Community?

Is the Information I Provide
Confidential?

Billions of government and business dollars
are distributed among states, communities,
and population groups based on the
social, economic, and housing information
available for that area.

Yes. The U.S. Census Bureau is required by
law to keep your information confidential.
We are not permitted to publicly release
your responses in a way that could
identify this household. Per the Federal
Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2015,
your data are protected from cybersecurity
risks through screening of the systems that
transmit your data.

The information you provide will help you
and other individuals, local governments,
nongovernmental organizations, and
businesses to:
•	

Help distribute resources to
communities.

•	

Improve your community by deciding
where in your town new highways,
schools, and hospitals can do the most
good.

•	

Measure changes in the well-being of
children, families, and senior citizens to
help plan future programs.

•	

Help communities plan for emergency
situations that might affect you or your
neighbors, such as floods, fires, and
other natural disasters.

By law, the Census Bureau can only use
your responses to produce statistics.
We may combine your survey data with
data that you may have provided to
other federal agencies. Any combined
information is given the same protections
as your survey information. Some
households that respond to the American
Community Survey may be asked to
participate in other Census Bureau surveys.

information each year about the social,
economic, and housing characteristics of the
United States. Previously, this information
was available only when the U.S. Census
Bureau conducted a population census every
10 years. The American Community Survey
will ask you questions about your household’s
characteristics, including such topics as
education, employment, and housing.
Only a small sample of addresses is randomly
selected to participate in the American
Community Survey and they represent other
addresses in the community. The Census
Bureau’s local field representative may visit
the household to complete the survey by
conducting a personal interview or may attempt
to contact the household by telephone to
complete the survey. If the address selected for
the survey is vacant or only occupied seasonally,
data on the characteristics of the unit will be
collected.

Do I Have to Answer the Questions
on the American Community
Survey?
Yes, your response to this survey is required by
law (Title 13, United States Code, Sections 141,
193, and 221).

How Will My Participation
Help Me and My Community?
Billions of dollars are allocated among
states, communities, Alaska Native villages,
and population groups based on the social,
economic, and housing information available for
that area.
The information you provide will help you
and other individuals, local governments,
nongovernmental organizations, and businesses
to:
• Help distribute resources to communities.
• Improve your community by deciding where
new roads, schools, hospitals, and improved
airstrips can do the most good for your town.
• Measure change in the well-being of children,
families, and senior citizens to help plan
future programs.
• Help communities plan for emergency
situations that might affect you or your
neighbors, such as floods, fires, and other
natural disasters.
• Help village leaders and Alaska Native
corporations plan for better education and
health services.

What About My Tribe or My Village?
The use of American Community Survey data
could result in improved utility services, new
housing, job training, better school facilities, or
a new or improved health clinic that benefits
you, your family, or your village. For example,
the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 requires
information about American Indian and Alaska
Native households to support training and
employment activities. Your participation in the
American Community Survey will provide this
critically important information.

Is the Information I Provide
Confidential?
Yes. The U.S. Census Bureau is required by law
to keep your information confidential. We are
not permitted to publicly release your responses
in a way that could identify this household.
Per the Federal Cybersecurity Enhancement
Act of 2015, your data are protected from
cybersecurity risks through screening of the
systems that transmit your data.
By law, the Census Bureau can only use your
responses to produce statistics. We may
combine your survey data with data that you
may have provided to other federal agencies.
Any combined information is given the same
protections as your survey information. Some
households that respond to the American
Community Survey may be asked to participate
in other Census Bureau surveys.

¿Qué es la Encuesta sobre la
Comunidad de Puerto Rico?
La Encuesta sobre la Comunidad de
Puerto Rico es una encuesta realizada
por el Negociado del Censo de los
Estados Unidos. Ésta proporciona
información anualmente sobre las características sociales, económicas y de

formulará preguntas sobre características de su hogar, incluyendo temas,
tales como la educación, el empleo y
la vivienda.
Sólo una pequeña muestra de
domicilios se selecciona al azar para
participar en la Encuesta sobre la
Comunidad de Puerto Rico; esas
direcciones representan a otras direcciones en la comunidad. Se entrega
un cuestionario de la encuesta a una
dirección particular en la muestra
para llenarlo y enviarlo de vuelta por
correo. Si un hogar no devuelve la
encuesta, el Negociado del Censo
intenta comunicarse con el mismo
para completar la encuesta por teléfono o en persona.

¿Tengo que responder a las

comunidad y yo si participo?
Miles de millones de dólares del
gobierno y de empresas privadas se

L’Enquête sur les
communautés
américaines

L’Enquête sur les communautés
américaines, qu’est-ce que c’est ?
L’Enquête sur les communautés américaines est
menée par le U.S. Census Bureau. Elle fournit tous
les ans des informations en matière de société,
d’économie et de logement aux États-Unis. Ces
informations n’étaient autrefois disponibles
qu’une fois tous les 10 ans, lorsque le U.S. Census
Bureau organisait un recensement. L’Enquête
sur les communautés américaines comporte des
questions au sujet des caractéristiques de votre
foyer y compris en matière d’éducation, d’emploi
et de logement.
Seul un petit échantillon d’adresses est
sélectionné au hasard pour participer à cette
Enquête et pour représenter les autres adresses
de la communauté. Un questionnaire d’enquête
est remis à une adresse sélectionnée et doit être
rempli et renvoyé. Si le foyer ne renvoie pas le
questionnaire, le U.S. Census Bureau essaie de
le contacter par téléphone ou personnellement
pour s’assurer que le questionnaire est rempli.

Dois-je obligatoirement répondre
aux questions de l’Enquête sur les
communautés américaines ?
Oui, la loi exige que vous répondiez aux
questions de cette enquête (Livre 13 du Code des
États-Unis, Sections 141, 193 et 221).

Comment cette participation à
l’Enquête m’aidera-t-elle ainsi
que ma communauté ?
Des milliards de dollars issus des agences
gouvernementales et des entreprises sont
répartis entre différents états, communautés
et groupes de population en fonction des
informations disponibles en matière de société,
d’économie et de logement de la région en
question.
Les informations que vous fournissez vous
aideront, et aideront d’autres individus,
des agences gouvernementales régionales,
des agences non gouvernementales et des
entreprises à :
•	

Répartir les ressources entre
différentes communautés.

•	

Améliorer votre communauté en décidant
dans quelles zones de votre ville de
nouvelles autoroutes, de nouveaux
établissements scolaires et de nouveaux
hôpitaux se révéleront les plus utiles.

•	

Mesurer l’évolution du bien-être des enfants,
des familles et des personnes âgées pour
planifier des programmes futurs.

•	

Aider les communautés à se préparer à des
situations d’urgence susceptibles d’entrainer

des répercussions sur vos voisins ou vousmême, comme une inondation, un incendie
ou une autre catastrophe naturelle.

Les informations que je
vous communique sont-elles
confidentielles ?
Oui. Le U.S. Census Bureau a l’obligation
légale de préserver la confidentialité de vos
informations. Nous ne sommes pas autorisés à
divulguer publiquement toute information qui
permettrait d’identifier votre foyer. En vertu du
Federal Cybersecurity Enhancement Act de
2015 (loi fédérale américaine visant à améliorer
la cybersécurité), vos données sont protégées
contre les risques grâce au filtrage des systèmes
qui transmettent vos données.
La loi autorise le U.S. Census Bureau à utiliser
vos réponses uniquement dans un but
statistique. Il se peut que nous combinions
les informations que vous nous fournissez
dans cette enquête à celles que vous avez
fournies à d’autres agences fédérales. Toute
information combinée est protégée de la même
façon que vos réponses au questionnaire de
cette Enquête. Il est possible que certains
foyers qui répondent à cette Enquête sur les
communautés américaines prennent aussi part à
d’autres Enquête du U.S. Census Bureau.

Kisa sondaj pou Kominote
Ozetazini yo an ye ?
Sondaj pou Kominote Ozetazini yo an se
yon sondaj biwo resansman ameriken an
ap fè. Se chak lane li founi enfòmasyon sou
kesyon zafè sosyal, ekonomik epi lojman
nan Etazini. Gen lontan, sèl lè nou te gen
enfòmasyon sa a se lè biwo resansman
ameriken an te fè yon resansman sou
popilasyon chak 10 zan. Sondaj pou
Kominote Ozetazini yo an se yon sondaj ki
poze w kesyon ou sipoze reponn sou moun
lakay ou; sètadi sou edikasyon, travay epi
sou kay la menm.
Se pa tout moun k ap patisipe men sè kèk
adrès kay ki chwazi o aza k ap patisipe
nan sondaj pou Kominote Ozetazini yo
an e se kay sa yo k ap reprezante lòt
adrès nan vwazinaj la. N ap livre kesyonè
sondaj la nan enpe kay yo k ap reprezante
tout lòt kay pou enpe kay sa yo reponn
kesyonè a epi voye li tounen. Si yon kay pa
remèt kesyonè a, biwo resansman an ap
rele moun kay sa a pou moun lan reponn
kesyon sondaj la nan telefòn oswa fasafas.

Èske m oblije reponn kesyon
ki nan sondaj pou Kominote
Ozetazini yo an ?
Wi, gen yon lwa ki di ou oblije reponn

미국 지역사회 조사란 무엇입니까?
미국 지역사회 조사는 미국 인구조사국에서
실시하는 조사입니다. 본 조사는 매년 미국의
사회, 경제 및 주택 특성에 관한 정보를
제공하게 됩니다. 종전에는 미국 인구조사국이
10년마다 한번씩 인구조사를 실시한 때에만 이
정보가 제공되었습니다. 미국 지역사회 조사는
귀 가구의 특성, 즉, 교육, 고용 및 주택과
같은 문제에 대해 질문을 합니다.
단지 소수의 주소들만 미국 지역사회 조사에
참여할 표본으로 무작위 추출되며 이들은
지역사회 내의 다른 주소들을 대표 하게 됩니다.
조사 설문지가 표본주소로 전달되면, 해당
가구는 이를 작성하여 우편으로 다시 보내게
됩니다. 어느 가구 에서 설문지를 우편으로
제출하지 않는 경우, 인구조사국은 설문을
작성하기 위해 해당 가구에 전화를 하거나
방문을 통해 연락을 드립니다.

미국 지역사회 조사에 있는 질문에
대해 답해야 합니까?
그렇습니다. 귀하의 조사 참여는 미국 법(미
연방법 Title 13의 Section 141, 193, 221)
에 의거한 것으로, 조사에 응해 주시기를
부탁드립니다.

Społeczne w Stanach
Zjednoczonych?
Środowiskowe Badania Społeczne w
Stanach Zjednoczonych to ankieta
przeprowadzana przez Amerykańskie
Biuro Spisu Ludności. Dostarcza ona
co roku informacji na temat warunków
społecznych, ekonomicznych i
mieszkaniowych w USA. Poprzednio
te dane były dostępne tylko po
przeprowadzeniu przez Amerykańskie
Biuro Spisu Ludności powszechnego spisu
ludności co 10 lat. Pytania w ankiecie
dotyczą cech charakterystycznych
mieszkańców, takich jak wykształcenie,
zatrudnienie i warunki mieszkaniowe.
Do udziału w Środowiskowych Badaniach
Społecznych w Stanach Zjednoczonych
wybierana jest losowo niewielka próbka
adresów, które reprezentują inne adresy
na danym terenie. Pod wybrane adresy
dostarczany jest kwestionariusz do
wypełnienia i odesłania. Jeżeli osoba
mieszkająca pod tym adresem nie
odeśle kwestionariusza, Biuro Spisu
Ludności spróbuje skontaktować się z
danym gospodarstwem domowym, aby
przeprowadzić badanie telefonicznie lub
osobiście.

O que é a Pesquisa às Comunidades nos EUA?
A Pesquisa às Comunidades nos EUA é
uma pesquisa realizada pelo U.S. Census
Bureau (Censo dos EUA). Todos os anos,
essa proporciona informações sobre as
características sociais, econômicas e
habitacionais dos Estados Unidos. No
passado, essas informações só estavam
disponíveis quando o Censo realizava um
censo da população a cada 10 anos. A
Pesquisa às Comunidades nos EUA fará
perguntas sobre as características do seu
domicílio, inclusive tópicos como educação,
emprego e habitação.

De que forma a minha
participação irá ajudar a mim
e à minha comunidade?

Apenas uma pequena amostra de residências
é aleatoriamente selecionada para participar
da Pesquisa às Comunidades nos EUA,
representando assim outras residências na
comunidade. Um questionário da pesquisa
é enviado para uma residência da amostra
para ser preenchido e devolvido. Quando os
domicílios não devolvem um questionário,
o Censo tenta contatar o mesmo para
preencher a pesquisa por telefone ou
pessoalmente.

Bilhões de dólares do governo e das
empresas são distribuídos pelos estados,
comunidades e grupos populacionais em
função das informações sociais, econômicas
e habitacionais disponíveis para cada área.

•	

distribuir recursos nas comunidades;

Tenho que responder as
perguntas da Pesquisa às
Comunidades nos EUA?

•	

melhorar a sua comunidade, determinando
onde novas estradas, escolas e hospitais
serão mais úteis na sua cidade;

•	

avaliar mudanças no bem-estar das
crianças, famílias e cidadãos mais idosos
para ajudar a planejar futuros programas;

•	

ajudar as comunidades a planejar ações
para situações de emergência que
possam afetar você e seus vizinhos, tais
como: enchentes, incêndios e outros
desastres naturais.

Sim, a lei dos Estados Unidos exige que você
responda a esta pesquisa (Título 13, Código
dos Estados Unidos, Seções 141, 193 e 221).

ACS-50 (HU)(Issued January 2020)_POR.indd 2

As informações fornecidas ajudarão você
e outros indivíduos, governos locais,
organizações não governamentais e empresas
a:

As informações são
confidenciais?
Sim. A lei exige que o Censo mantenha
suas informações confidenciais. Não temos
permissão para divulgar suas respostas
de modo a identificar o domicílio. De
acordo com a lei Federal Cybersecurity
Enchancement Act de 2015, seus dados
estão protegidos de riscos cibernéticos pelo
rastreio dos sistemas que os transmitem.
As suas respostas só poderão ser utilizadas
para fins estatísticos. Poderemos combinar
os dados da sua pesquisa com os dados que
você possa ter informado a outras agências
federais. Quaisquer informações combinadas
serão tratadas com a mesma proteção que as
informações coletadas pela pesquisa. Alguns
domicílios que responderem à Pesquisa

Что представляет собой
анкетирование населения США
по месту жительства?
Бюро переписи населения США проводит
анкетирование населения США по месту
жительства. Ежегодно по результатам
этого исследования получают сведения о
социальных, экономических и жилищных
условиях в Соединенных Штатах. Ранее эту
информацию можно было получить только
раз в десять лет во время переписи
населения. Анкетирование населения
США по месту жительства включает в
себя вопросы об образовании, занятости
и условиях жизни, касающиеся Вас и
проживающих с Вами лиц.
Для участия в Анкетировании населения
США по месту жительства выбрано
наугад лишь небольшое количество
адресов, которые представляют и другие
домохозяйства данного района. По данному
адресу будет послана анкета, которую
необходимо заполнить и отослать обратно.
Если представители данного домохозяйства
не вернут заполненную анкету,
представитель Бюро переписи населения
США постарается связаться с ними, чтобы
завершить анкетирование по телефону или
лично.

Должен ли я отвечать на
вопросы,
содержащиеся в
анкетировании
населения США по месту
жительства?
Да, закон требует, чтобы Bы ответили на эти
вопросы (Часть 13, Кодекс Соединенных
Штатов, разделы 141, 193 и 221).

ACS-50 (HU)(Issued January 2020)_RUS.indd 2

Как мое участие поможет мне и
моему району?
На основе информации о социальных,
экономических и жилищных условиях в
данной местности миллиарды долларов
правительственных и частных средств
распределяются между различными штатами,
районами и группами населения.
Предоставленные Вами сведения помогут
Вам и другим лицам, местным властям,
неправительственным организациям и
деловым предприятиям:
•	

Распределить средства между районами
проживания жителей США.

•	

Улучшить условия жизни Вашего района
путем принятия решений о том, где в
Вашем населенном пункте необходимо
построить новые шоссейные дороги,
школы и больницы с тем, чтобы они
принесли наибольшую пользу.

•	

Определить, насколько изменилось
благосостояние детей, семей и пожилых
граждан с тем, чтобы спланировать
дальнейшие программы.

•	

Помочь местным властям и жителям в
разработке планов действий на случай
чрезвычайных ситуаций, таких как
наводнения, пожары и другие стихийные
бедствия, которые могут затронуть Вас
или Ваших соседей.

Является ли предоставленная
мною
информация
конфиденциальной?
Да. Закон обязывает Бюро
переписи населения США сохранять
конфиденциальность предоставленной Вами
информации. Бюро переписи населения
не имеет права разглашать какую-либо
информацию, из которой можно получить
сведения о Вашей семье. В соответствии
с Федеральным законом об усилении
кибербезопасности от 2015 года, Ваши
данные защищены от рисков нарушения
кибербезопасности посредством введения
специальных мер защиты систем,
используемых для передачи данных.
Согласно закону, предоставленные
Вами сведения будут использованы
исключительно в статистических целях.
Данные, полученные в результате этого
исследования, могут быть скомбинированы
с данными, которые Вы, возможно,
предоставили в другие государственные
учреждения. Вся сводная информация
охраняется так же, как и информация,
полученная в результате данного
исследования. Кроме того, к некоторым
домохозяйствам, принявшим участие в
анкетировании населения США по месту
жительства, могут обратиться с просьбой об
участии в других исследованиях,
проводимых Бюро переписи населения.

什么是美国社区问卷调查
美国社区问卷调查是美国人口普查局所进行的一
项调查。这项调查每年提供有关美国社会、经济
和住房特点的信息。过去, 只有在美国人口普查
局进行十年一次的人口普查时才能获得此类信
息。美国社区问卷调查将提问您有关您住户特征
的问题, 包括例如教育、 就业和住房的问题。
参加美国社区问卷调查的住户是以随机抽样的方
式选出的。虽然数量很小, 但是, 这些住户代表
了所在地区的其他住户。被抽样选中的住户会收
到一份调查问卷, 该问卷需在填写后寄回。如果
某些住户没有寄回调查问卷, 人口普查局会尝试
以电话或上门方式与该住户联系, 以填写调查问
卷。

我必须回答美国社区问卷调查中的问
题吗?
是的, 根据法律规定, 您必须回答本调查中的问
题(《美国法典》第 13 篇第 141、 193 和 221
节)。

ACS-50 (HU)(Issued January 2020)_CHI.indd 2

我参加该项调查对我本人和我所在的
社区有什么帮助?
各州、 社区和人口群体所分配到的政府及商业资
金, 是根据所搜集到的该地区的社会、经济和住
房信息决定的。
您所提供的信息将有助于您和其他个人、
地方政府、 非政府机构和企业:
•	

帮助向社区分配资源。

•	

通过确定在您所在城镇的哪些地方修建新的
高速公路、新的学校和医院最合适, 来改善
您所在社区的状况。

•	

衡量儿童、 家庭和老年人的生活变化,
帮助规划未来的计划。

•	

帮助社区规划可能影响您或您所在社区的应
急预案, 例如水灾、 火灾和其他自然灾害。

我提供的信息是否会得到保密?
是的。根据法律规定,美国人口普查局将对您的
信息保密。人口普查局不得以可识别住户身份的
方式公开发布您的回复。根据《2015年联邦网络
安全增强法案》,我们将通过筛选传输数据的系
统保护您的数据,使其免于网络安全风险。
根据法律规定,人口普查局仅可将您的回复用于
编制统计数据。我们可能会把您在此项调查中所
提供的信息与您可能已向其他联邦机构提供的信
息进行合并。任何合并信息均将受到如您在此项
调查中所提供的信息一样的保护。我们可能会要
求某些参加此项调查的住户参加人口普查局的其
他调查。

AMERICAN COMMUNITY SURVEY	

What is the American
Community Survey?

The American Community
Survey is a survey conducted
by the U.S. Census Bureau in
every county, American Indian
and Alaska Native Area, and
Hawaiian Home Land.

The American Community
Survey provides critical economic, social, demographic,
and housing information to this
country’s communities every
year. Communities tell us the
American Community Survey
helps them make informed decisions and is a key to their future.

census.gov/acs

I have not heard of the
American Community Survey.
How long have you been
conducting it?
The American Community
Survey began in 1996 in a sample
of counties across the country.
Today the survey is conducted
in all U.S. counties and in Puerto
Rico, where it is called the
Puerto Rico Community Survey.

How are the answers that
I provide to the American
Community Survey used?

The questions on the American
Community Survey are required
to collect data needed to
manage or evaluate government
programs. These questions are
essentially the same questions
that have been asked as part of
the decennial census.
•	 Income information makes
it possible to compare the
economic levels of different
areas. Many federal and state
programs use such data to
distribute funds for community development.
• 	Your answers to the questions on journey to work are
used by the U.S. Department
of Transportation to plan
highway improvements,
develop public transportation
services, and design
programs to ease traffic
problems.
• 	Information about age is used
in federal programs to target

AMERICAN COMMUNITY SURVEY	

funds or services to children,
working-age adults, or the
elderly.

• 	Responses to questions about
income and housing are
summarized and used by the
U.S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development to
assess the need for housing
assistance for elderly,
handicapped, and low-income
homeowners.
•	 Information about race,
Hispanic origin, and language
spoken at home is used to
determine bilingual election requirements under the
Voting Rights Act and the
monitoring of equal employment opportunities under the
Civil Rights Act. Race and
Hispanic origin (or ethnicity)
are considered distinct concepts and, therefore, require
separate questions.
• 	Information about military
service is used primarily
by the U.S. Department of
Veterans Affairs to measure

AMERICAN COMMUNITY SURVEY	

the needs of veterans and to
evaluate veterans’ programs
dealing with education,
employment, and health care.
How do I benefit by
answering the American
Community Survey?

Federal agencies, states, and
communities say that they
do not have the up-to-date
information they need to better
understand community issues,
respond to needs, and allocate
programs and resources. As
one community leader said,
“Guessing is always fun, but
seldom effective.”
By responding to the
American Community Survey
questionnaire, you are helping
your community establish
community goals, identify
community problems and
solutions, locate facilities and
programs, and measure the
performance of programs. The
American Community Survey
data are used by:

census.gov/acs

•	 Local governments for budgeting, evaluating programs,
and planning for community
development projects.
• 	Community programs, such
as those for the elderly, scout
programs, libraries, banks,
hospitals, and other community organizations, to provide
services to the community
and to locate buildings, services, and programs.
•	 Transportation planners, using
journey-to-work information,
to plan for peak volumes
of traffic in order to reduce
traffic congestion, plan for
parking, and develop strategies, such as carpooling
programs and flexible work
schedules. Decisions are
made to build new roads
or add capacity to existing
roads, and to develop transit
systems, such as light rail or
subways, by projecting future
needs.

AMERICAN COMMUNITY SURVEY	

Do I have to answer the
questions on the American
Community Survey?

Do I have to answer the
survey if I am staying at
this address temporarily?	

Yes. Your response to this
survey is required by law (Title
13, United States Code, Sections
141, 193, and 221). The same law
protects the confidentiality of
the information that you
provide.

Yes. If you are staying at
the address for more than 2
months, you must complete
the entire survey. If you are
staying for 2 months or less,
you must still complete a
portion of the survey, according
to the instructions.A Census
Bureau representative can
assist you. This information
helps communities plan as the
population changes at different
times of the year.

Do I have to answer these
questions every year?
No. Only a small sample
of addresses is selected to
participate in the American
Community Survey. An address
may only be selected for the
sample once every 5 years.
These addresses are selected
at random and represent other
addresses in the community.
That is why it is so important
that every sampled household
respond. 	

Are my survey answers
confidential?
Yes. The U.S. Census Bureau is
required by law to keep your
information confidential. We
are not permitted to publicly
release your responses in a way
that could identify this household. Per the Cybersecurity
Enhancement Act of 2015, your
data re protected from cybersecurity risks through screening of

the systems that transmit your
data. By law, the Census
Bureau can only use your
responses to product statistics.

How can I see the results of the
survey?
This information is published on
the Census Bureau’s American
FactFinder® Web site at
factfinder.census.gov
The data are provided in several
formats for everyone from
beginners (who may just want
to look at the data) to
experienced researchers.
American FactFinder® provides

I am elderly, disabled, or
otherwise unable to complete
the American Community
Survey questionnaire. What
do I do?
You may designate another
person to help you, or a Census
Bureau representative may call
you or may come to your house
and assist you in completing
the survey. Respondents may
call 1-800-354-7271 for
assistance.
To produce the most accurate
results, it is very important that
every household selected for
the survey participate.

• provide an overview of the
data quickly,
• compare data for different
places, and
• provide more extensive data
for more detailed research.

ENCUESTA SOBRE LA COMUNIDAD ESTADOUNIDENSE	

¿Qué es la Encuesta sobre la
Comunidad Estadounidense?

La Encuesta sobre la Comunidad
Estadounidense es una encuesta
que la Oficina del Censo realiza
en cada condado, Área Indígena
Norteamericana y Nativa de Alaska así
como Territorio Autónomo Hawaiano.
La encuesta sobre la Comunidad
Estadounidense provee importante
información económica, social,
de población y de vivienda a las
comunidades de este país cada año.
Las comunidades nos indican que
la Encuesta sobre la Comunidad
Estadounidense les ayuda a obtener
la información necesaria para tomar
decisiones fundamentadas y es clave
para el futuro.

census.gov/acs

No había oído de la Encuesta sobre la
Comunidad Estadounidense. ¿Cuánto
tiempo llevan realizándola?
La Encuesta sobre la Comunidad
Estadounidense comenzó en 1996
con una muestra de condados a
través de todo el país. En la actualidad,
la encuesta se realiza en todos los
condados de Estados Unidos.

ENCUESTA SOBRE LA COMUNIDAD ESTADOUNIDENSE

¿Cómo se usarán mis respuestas
proporcionadas a la Encuesta sobre
la Comunidad Estadounidense?

Se requiere que las preguntas de
la Encuesta sobre la Comunidad
Estadounidense obtengan los datos
necesarios para administrar o evaluar
programas del gobierno. Dichas
preguntas son esencialmente las
mismas que se han hecho como parte
del censo decenal.
• La información sobre ingresos
hace posible la comparación de
los niveles económicos de las
distintas regiones del país. Muchos
programas federales y estatales
usan esos datos para asignar
fondos de desarrollo comunitario.
• El Departamento de Transporte
de los Estados Unidos usa sus
respuestas a las preguntas
relacionadas con viajes al trabajo
para planificar mejoras a las
autopistas y carreteras, desarrollar
servicios de transporte público y
diseñar programas para aliviar los
problemas de tráfico.

• La información relacionada con
la edad se usa en programas
federales para dirigir la asignación
de fondos o servicios para niños,
adultos de edad laboral o ancianos.

• Las respuestas a las preguntas
sobre ingresos y vivienda son
resumidas y utilizadas por el
Departamento de la Vivienda
y Desarrollo Urbano de
Estados Unidos para evaluar
las necesidades de asistencia
relacionada con la vivienda para
ancianos, personas discapacitadas
y dueños de viviendas de bajos
recursos.
•	 La información relacionada con
la raza, el origen hispano y el
idioma hablado en casa se utiliza
para determinar los requisitos de
papeletas de elección bilingües en
conformidad con la Ley de Derecho
al Voto, así como la supervisión de
la igualdad de oportunidades de
empleo en conformidad con la Ley
de Derechos Civiles. La raza y el
origen (o el grupo étnico) hispano
se consideran conceptos distintos
y, por lo tanto, requieren preguntas
independientes.
• 	 El Departamento de Asuntos de
Veteranos utiliza principalmente
la información relacionada con
el servicio militar para medir las
necesidades de los veteranos
y evaluar los programas para
veteranos relacionados con
educación, empleo y atención
médica.

ENCUESTA SOBRE LA COMUNIDAD ESTADOUNIDENSE	

¿Cómo me beneficio al responder
a la Encuesta sobre la Comunidad
Estadounidense?

Las agencias federales, los estados y
las comunidades nos indican que no
tienen la información actualizada que
necesitan para comprender mejor los
asuntos relacionados con la comunidad, responder a sus necesidades y
asignar programas y recursos. Como
expresó un líder de la comunidad,
“Adivinar siempre es divertido, pero
casi nunca eficaz”.

Al responder al cuestionario de
la Encuesta sobre la Comunidad
Estadounidense, usted ayudará a su
comunidad a establecer sus metas,
identificar sus problemas y soluciones,
designar lugares para instalaciones y
programas, así como a medir el desempeño de dichos programas.
Los datos obtenidos por la Encuesta
sobre la Comunidad Estadounidense
son utilizados por:
•	 Gobiernos locales para crear
presupuestos, evaluar programas y
planificar proyectos de desarrollo
comunitario.
• 	 Programas comunitarios, como los
destinados a ancianos, programas
de niños exploradores, bibliotecas,
bancos, hospitales y otras
organizaciones comunitarias para
brindar servicios a ésta y designar

census.gov/acs

lugares para la construcción de
edificios, la prestación de servicios
y programas.

• Planificadores de transporte
que utilizan la información sobre
viajes al trabajo para hacer planes
relacionados con volúmenes de
tráfico durante horas pico con el fin
de reducir la congestión de tránsito,
planificar espacios de
estacionamiento y desarrollar
estrategias, como programas de
viajes compartidos y horarios de
trabajo flexibles. Mediante el
cálculo
de necesidades futuras, se toman
decisiones de construir carreteras
nuevas o ampliar las ya existentes,
y de desarrollar sistemas de
tránsito en masa como trenes
ligeros y subterráneos.
¿Tengo que responder a las
preguntas de la Encuesta sobre la
Comunidad Estadounidense?
Así es. Si su domicilio resulta
seleccionado, usted está obligado
por ley a responder a esta encuesta
(Título 13, Código de los Estados
Unidos, Secciones 141, 193 y 221).
La misma ley protege el carácter
confidencial de la información que
usted proporcione.

ENCUESTA SOBRE LA COMUNIDAD ESTADOUNIDENSE

¿Tengo que responder a estas preguntas todos los años?

¿Son confidenciales mis
respuestas a la encuesta?

No. Se selecciona únicamente una
pequeña muestra de direcciones para
participar en la Encuesta sobre la
Comunidad Estadounidense. Es posible que una dirección de domicilio
se seleccione para la muestra una vez
cada 5 años. Las direcciones de domicilio se seleccionan de manera al azar
y representan a otras dentro de la
comunidad. Por eso es tan importante
que responda cada hogar de la
muestra. 	

Así es. La Oficina del Censo está
obligada por ley a mantener
confidencial su información. A
nosotros no se nos permite divulgar
sus respuestas de manera que este
hogar pudiera ser identificado. En
conformidad con la Ley para el
Fortalecimiento de la Seguridad
Cibernética Federal del 2015, sus
datos están protegidos contra los
riesgos de seguridad cibernética
mediante los controles aplicados
a los sistemas que trasmiten su
información. Por ley, la Oficina del
Censo puede usar sus respuestas solo
para producir estadísticas.

¿Tengo que responder a la encuesta
si vivo en este
domicilio temporalmente?	
Así es. Si vivirá en este domicilio por
más de 2 meses tiene que completar
la encuesta completa. Si vivirá allí
por 2 meses o menos, aún tendrá que
completar una porción de la encuesta
según las instrucciones. Un representante de la Oficina del Censo podrá
ayudarle. Esta información ayuda a las
comunidades a planificar, a medida
que la población cambia durante
distintas épocas del año.

¿Cómo puedo ver los resultados de la
encuesta?
La información se publica en el sitio
de Internet American FactFinder® (un
buscador de datos sobre los Estados
Unidos) de la Oficina del Censo en
factfinder.census.gov
Los datos se proveen en varios formatos, desde información para principiantes (es decir, personas que sólo
desean ver la información) hasta para
investigadores experimentados.

¿Puede ver la policía o alguna agencia reglamentaria mis respuestas a la
encuesta?
No. La Oficina del Censo protege el
carácter privado de su información.
La policía no puede verla; y ningún
tribunal de ley tampoco. Nadie puede
ver ni usar sus respuestas específicas
para hacer cumplir ningún tipo de ley.

Si soy una persona anciana, discapacitada o, por algún motivo, no

representante de la Oficina del
Censo lo llame o vaya a su casa para
ayudarlo a completar la encuesta.
Los respondedores pueden llamar al
1-877-833-5625 para obtener ayuda.
Para lograr resultados más precisos,
es muy importante que cada hogar
seleccionado para la encuesta participe en ella.

Si algún empleado de la Oficina del
Censo violara estas disposiciones,
quedaría sujeto a rigurosas sanciones
penales impuestas por el Congreso –
hasta 5 años de encarcelamiento y/o

L’ENQUÊTE SUR LES COMMUNAUTÉS AMÉRICAINES	

L’Enquête sur les
communautés américaines,
qu’est-ce que c’est ?

L’Enquête sur les communautés
américaines est menée par le Bureau
de recensement des États-Unis dans
chaque comté, dans les territoires des
Indiens Américains et de l’Alaska et sur
le territoire d’Hawaï.

L’Enquête sur les communautés
américaines fournit tous les ans
aux différentes communautés
des Etats-Unis des informations
d’une importance cruciale en
matière d’économie, de société,
de démographie et de logement.
Ces dernières nous ont confié que
cette enquête les aide à prendre des
décisions basées sur des informations
récentes et qu’elle joue un rôle clé dans
leur avenir.

census.gov/acs

Je n’ai pas entendu parler
de l’Enquête sur les
communautés américaines.
Depuis combien de temps
cette enquête a-t-elle lieu ?
L’Enquête sur les communautés
américaines a été menée pour la
première fois en 1996, dans un
échantillonnage de comtés des
États-Unis. À l’heure actuelle, cette
enquête est menée dans tous les
comtés des États-Unis, ainsi qu’à Porto
Rico où elle porte le nom d’Enquête
sur la population des communautés
portoricaines.

L’ENQUÊTE SUR LES COMMUNAUTÉS AMÉRICAINES

Comment mes réponses aux
questions posées dans le
cadre de l’Enquête sur les
communautés américaines
sont-elles utilisées ?

 es questions posées dans le cadre
L
de cette enquête ont pour but
de rassembler les informations
nécessaires à la gestion ou à
l’évaluation des programmes
gouvernementaux. Ces questions sont
essentiellement les mêmes que celles
qui ont été posées dans le cadre du
recensement décennal.
• 	 Les informations au sujet du
revenu permettent de comparer le
niveau économique de différentes
régions. De nombreux programmes
fédéraux et des états se servent de
ces informations pour répartir les
fonds destinés au développement
des communautés.
• 	 Vos réponses aux questions
concernant le trajet vers le lieu de
travail sont utilisées par le Ministère
des transports des États-Unis
pour planifier les améliorations du
réseau des autoroutes, développer
les transports publics et concevoir
des programmes afin de faciliter la
circulation routière.
• 	 Les informations sur l’âge sont

utilisées dans le cadre des
programmes fédéraux pour cibler
les fonds ou les services destinés
aux enfants, aux adultes en âge de
travailler ou aux personnes âgées.

• 	 Les réponses aux questions
concernant le revenu et le logement
sont présentées en bref et utilisées
par le Secrétariat au logement
et au développement urbain des
États-Unis afin d’évaluer les besoins
en matière d’aide au logement
pour les personnes âgées, les
handicapés et les propriétaires à
faible revenu.
• 	 Les informations relatives à la
race, l’origine hispanique et la
langue parlée domicile sont
utilisées afin de déterminer les
exigences du bilinguisme pour les
élections dans le cadre du Voting
Rights Act (Loi sur le droit de
vote) et la surveillance de la nondiscrimination en matière d’emploi
dans le cadre du Civil Rights Act
(Loi sur les droits civiques). La
race et l’origine (ou ethnicité)
hispanique sont considérées
comme étant des concepts
différents et font donc l’objet de
questions distinctes.
• 	 Les informations sur le
service militaire sont utilisées

principalement par le Ministère des
anciens combattants des ÉtatsUnis pour estimer les besoins des
anciens combattants et évaluer
les programmes les concernant en
matière d’éducation, d’emploi et de
santé.

Quels bénéfices puis-je
tirer de ma participation
à l’Enquête sur les
communautés américaines ?
Les agences gouvernementales
fédérales, les états et les
communautés des États-Unis se
plaignent de ne pas disposer des
informations les plus récentes
leur étant nécessaires pour mieux
comprendre les problèmes liés aux
communautés, répondre aux besoins
et répartir les programmes et les
ressources. Comme l’a déclaré
un des responsables d’une
communauté : « C’est toujours
amusant de jouer aux devinettes, mais
ce n’est pas une manière vraiment
efficace de trouver une réponse. »
Vos réponses aux questions de
l’Enquête sur les communautés
américaines aideront votre
communauté à établir ses objectifs,
à identifier ses problèmes et à leur
trouver des solutions, à établir des

census.gov/acs

institutions et des programmes,
et à évaluer les performances des
programmes.
Les informations recueillies par
l’Enquête sur les communautés
américaines sont utilisées par :
• 	 Les agences gouvernementales
régionales pour affecter les
ressources, évaluer les programmes
et planifier les projets de
développement des communautés.
• 	 Les programmes de communauté,
comme ceux concernant les
personnes âgées, le scoutisme,
les bibliothèques, les banques,
les hôpitaux et autres agences
des communautés, pour offrir
des services à la communauté et
mettre en place des bâtiments, des
services et des programmes.
• 	 Les planificateurs des transports,
utilisant les informations
concernant le trajet vers le lieu
de travail pour prévoir les heures
de pointe et prendre les mesures
nécessaires afin de réduire les
embouteillages, planifier les places
de stationnement et mettre au

Les décisions concernant la
construction de nouvelles voies
routières, l’accroissement de
la capacité des infrastructures
existantes, la mise en place
de systèmes de transports en

Oui. La loi exige que vous répondiez

cet échantillon qu’une fois tous les 5
ans. Ces adresses sont sélectionnées
au hasard et représentent d’autres
adresses de la communauté. C’est
pourquoi il est si important que
chaque foyer sélectionné réponde aux
questions de l’enquête.

Dois-je obligatoirement
répondre aux questions de
l’enquête si je n’habite que
temporairement à l’adresse
sélectionnée ?
Oui. Si vous habitez à l’adresse
sélectionnée pendant plus de 2 mois,
vous devez répondre à toutes les
questions de l’enquête. Si vous y habitez
pendant un maximum de 2 mois,
vous devez quand même répondre
à certaines questions de l’enquête,
comme indiqué dans les instructions. Un
représentant du Bureau de recensement
peut vous aider. Ces informations aident
les communautés, à différents moments
de l’année, à planifier leurs besoins
au fur et à mesure de l’évolution de la
population.

SONDAJ POU KOMINOTE ETAZINI YO	

Kisa sondaj pou kominote
ozetazini yo an ye ?

Sondaj pou kominote ozetazini yo
an se yon sondaj biwo resansman
ameriken an ap fè nan tout peyi a, epi
menm nan zòn kote endyen ameriken
epi natifnatal natal Alaska rete epi,
lèfini, sou teritwa Awayi.

Sondaj sou kominote ameriken an
ap, chak lane, bay enfòmasyon kritik
sou sitiyasyon ekonomik, sosyal,
demografik ak lojman nan tout
kominote peyi a. Tout kominote peyi a
di sondaj pou kominote Etazini yo an
ede yo pran bon dezisyon byen enfòme
e sondaj la fondamantal pou lavni
kominote a.

census.gov/acs

MWEN pa janm tande pale sou
sondaj pou kominote Etazini
yo. Èske ou ka di mwen depi
kilè y ap fè li ?
Sondaj pou kominote Etazini yo an
kòmanse nan lane 1996 nan kèk konte
peyi a. Jodi a sondaj la fèt nan tout
konte peyi Etazini epi nan Puerto Rico,
men la se sondaj pou kominote Puerto
Rico ke yo rele li.

Kijan y ap itilize repons mwen
bay nan sondaj pou kominote
ozetazini yo an ?
Kesyon ki nan sondaj pou kominote
ozetazini yo an obligatwa pou n
ranmase enfòmasyon nesesè pou
n dirije oswa evalye pwogram
gouvènmantal. Kesyon ki nan sondaj
sa a se menm ak enpe nan kesyon ki
nan resansman chak 10 zan an.

•	 Enfòmasyon sou revni ede nou fè
konparezon nivo ekonomik ant
plizyè zòn. Gen anpil pwogram
federal ak pwogram leta ki sèvi
ak enfòmasyon sa a pou yo
distribye lajan k ap ede devlòpman
kominote a.
•	 Repons ou bay kesyon transpò
pou ale epi soti nan travay ap ede
depatman transpò ameriken an
tabli devlopman wout, devlopman
sèvis transpò piblik ak pwogram k
ap ede redui anbouteyaj.
•	 Enfòmasyon sou laj ap sèvi nan
pwogram federal pou pwoblèm
peman ak sèvis pou timoun, moun
ki nan laj pou yo travay epi pou
granmoun.

SONDAJ POU KOMINOTE ETAZINI YO

•	 Repons pou kesyon sou revni ak
lojman ap ofri yon enfòmasyon
jeneral pou depatman Kay ak
devlopman vil Ameriken yo an
evalye kisa granmoun, moun ki gen
andikap ak pwopriyetè kay ki pòv
bezwen lakay yo.
•	 Enfòmasyon sou ras, ansèt panyòl
ak lang manman ap sèvi pou nou
detèmine tout sa ki nesesè pou
nou gen yon eleksyon nan de lang
dapre lwa sou dwa moun nan
eleksyon epi pou nou kontwole
opòtinite egalego nan itilizasyon
travay dapre lwa sou dwa sivil. Ras
ak zansèt panyòl (oswa gwoup
etnik panyòl) pa menm kidonk
fòk n gen diferan kesyon pou yo
toulede.
•	 Enfòmasyon sou sèvis militè ap
sèvi pou depatman ki okipe zafè
ansyen konbatan ameriken mezire
sa ansyen konbatan yo bezwen
epi pou evalye pwogam ansyen
konbatan yo sou zafè edikasyon,
travay ak swen medikal.

SONDAJ POU KOMINOTE ETAZINI YO	

Ki avantaj k ap genyen pou
mwen si mwen patisipe nan
sondaj pou kominote Etazini
yo?

Touletwa ajans federal, ajans leta ak
kominote yo di yo pa gen tout dènye
enfòmasyon ki nesesè pou yo pi byen
konprann pwoblèm ki genyen nan
kominote yo, pou yo ofri sèvis nesesè
epi pou yo ofri pwogram ak resous.
M ap p ba ou egzanp sa yon chèf
kominote di : « Li toujou enteresan pou
nou jwe devinèt men sa pa toujou fè
bagay yo mache ».
Repons ou bay nan kesyon sondaj
pou kominote Etazini yo an pral ede
kominote kote ou rete a detèmine
objektif, idantifye pwoblèm epi jwenn
solisyon pou pwoblèm kominote
a, jwenn ekipman ak pwogram, epi
mezire rannman tout pwogram yo.
Moun k ap itilize enfòmasyon ki
dekouvri nan sondaj pou kominote
Etazini yo an se :

census.gov/acs

•	 Administrasyon lokal pou yo fè
bidjè, evalye pwogram epi fè plan
sou pwojè devlopman kominote a.
•	 Pwogram kominote (sètadi
pwogram pou granmoun, pwogram
eskout, bibliyotèk, bank, lopital
ak lòt òganizasyon nan kominote
a) pou yo ofri sèvis nan kominote
a epi pou jwenn bilding, sèvis ak
pwogram.
•	 Moun ki bay sèvis transpò, sèvi ak
enfòmasyon transpò moun itilize
pou yo ale epi soti nan travay pou
òganizasyon sikilasyon lè anpil
moun ki ale epi ki soti nan travay
epi pou devlopman estrateji, sètadi
pwogram woulib ak orè travay
ki chanje. Yo pran dezisyon pou
konstwi nouvo wout oswa pou elaji
wout ki la deja, epi pou devlope
sistèm transpò tankou tren lokal
ak tren banlye apati sa moun ap
bezwen pidevan.

SONDAJ POU KOMINOTE ETAZINI YO

Èske m oblije reponn kesyon
ki nan sondaj pou kominote
ozetazini yo an ?

Èske mwen oblije reponn kesyon sondaj la menmsi m nan
kay la pou yon bout tan ?

Wi. Gen yon lwa ki di ou oblije reponn
sondaj la (Tit 13, kòd ameriken,
seksyon 141, 193 ak 221). Menm
lwa sa a di enfòmasyon ou bay ap l
rete sekrè.

Wi. Ou dwe reponn tout kesyon
sondaj la si ou rete nan adrès kay sa
a pandan omwen 2 mwa. Ou dwe
reponn yon pati nan sondaj la si w pa
p rete nan adrès kay la pou 2 mwa
kifè se pou w li enstriksyon yo pou
w konnen ki pati pou w reponn. Yon
reprezantan biwo resansman an ka
ede w. Enfòmasyon sa a ede kominote
yo, plizyè fwa nan ane a, fè plan ki
nesesè menmsi popilasyon an ap
chanje.

Èske se chak ane m ap gen
pou m reponn kesyon sa yo ?
Non. Se sèlman kèk adrès kay nou
chwazi pou yo patisipe nan sondaj
pou kominote Etazini yo an. Se chak 5
an yon adrès kay ka chwazi ankò pou
li patisipe nan sondaj la. Adrès sa yo
chwazi owaza epi yo reprezante tout
lòt adrès ki nan menm zòn lan. Se pou
sa li enpòtan pou tout adrès kay ki
chwazi patisipe nan sondaj la.

Èske repons mwen bay nan
sondaj la ap rete konfidansyèl?
Non. Sèlman nou chwazi yon ti
echantiyon adrès pou patisipe
nan Sondaj Kominote Etazini. Nou
ka chwazi yon adrès sèlman pou
echantiyon an yon fwa chak 5 ane.
Nou chwazi adrès yo owaza epi yo
reprezante lòt adrès ki nan kominote a.
se rezon sa a ki fè li enpòtan anpil pou
chak fanmi nou chwazi reponn kesyon
sondaj la.

미국 지역사회 조사란 무엇입니까?
인구조사국은 모든 카운티,아메리칸
인디언 및 알래스카 원주민 지역,
하와이 원주민 본토에서 미국
지역사회 조사를 실시합니다.
미국 지역사회 조사는 매년 중요한
경제, 사회, 인구통계 및 주택
정보를 이 나라의 지역사회에
제공합니다. 미국 지역사회 조사는
합리적인 결정을 내리는 데 도움이
되며 지역사회의 미래에 중요
하다고 여러 지역사회에서 말합니다.

census.gov/acs

나는 미국 지역사회 조사에 대해
들어본 적이 없습니다. 이 조사를
얼마나 오랫동안 실시해 왔습니까?
미국 지역사회 조사는 1996년에 전

로 시작되었습니다. 오늘날 이 조사
는 미국 전 카운티와 푸에르토리코
에서 실시되며, 푸에르토리코의 경

내가 미국 지역사회 조사에 제공
하는 답은 어떻게 사용됩니까?

미국 지역사회 조사의 질문들은
정부프로그램을 관리하거나 평가
하는 데 필요한 자료를 수집하는 데
필요합니다. 이 질문들은 기본적
으로 10년에 한번씩 실시되는 인구
조사(센서스)의 일부 질문들과 동일
합니다.

미국 지역사회 조사

•	 소득

및 주택에 관한 질문에
대한 응답은 요약되어 미국 주택
도시 개발부에서 노인, 장애인
및 저소득 주택 소유자들을 위한
주택 지원의 필요성을 평가하는
데 사용됩니다.

•	 인종, 중남미 출신, 가정에서

정보는 각 지역의 경제
수준을 비교할 수 있게 합니다.
이 자료는 많은 연방 및 주
프로그램에서 지역사회 개발기금
을 분배하는 데 사용됩니다.

사용하는 언어 등에 대한 정보는
민권법에 보장된 고용평등을
감독하고, 투표권법에 따른 이중
언어 요건을 결정하기 위해 사용
됩니다. 인종과 중남미 출신
(또는 민족)은 별개의 개념으로
간주되므로 별도의 질문이 필요
합니다.

•	 통근에 관한 질문에 대한 응답은

•	 군복무에 관한 정보는 미국 재향

미 교통부에서 고속도로 개선을
계획하고, 대중 교통 서비스를
개발하며, 교통 문제 완화에
필요한 프로그램을 만드는 데
사용됩니다.

군인 원호부에서 재향 군인들이
필요한 것이 무엇인지를 파악
하고, 이들을 위한 교육, 취업 및
건강 관리 프로그램을 평가하는
데 주로 사용됩니다.

•	 소득

•	 연령에

관한 정보는 어린이,
경제활동 인구 또는 노인에게
제공하는 기금이나 서비스를
목적으로 하는 연방 프로그램에
사용됩니다.

미국 지역사회 조사에 응답함으로써
어떻게 혜택을 받습니까?

연방 정부 기관, 주 및 지역사회들
은 지역사회의 문제를 더 잘 이해
하고 필요에 대응하며 프로그램과
자원을 배분하는 데 필요한 최신
정보가 없다고 말합니다. 한 지역
사회 지도자가 말한 것처럼, “추측

미국 지역사회 조사 자료는 다음
기관에 의해 사용됩니다.

•	 지역사회

프로그램, 예를 들면,
노인, 보이/걸 스카우트 프로그램,
도서관, 은행, 병원 및 기타
지역사회 단체들이 지역사회에
서비스를 제공하고 건물, 서비스
및 프로그램 실시 장소를 찾기
위해.

•	 교통

계획 수립자들이 통근
정보를 사용하여, 출퇴근 시간의
정체를 줄이기 위한 최대허용
교통량을 계획하고, 주차 계획을
세우며, 승용차 함께 타기
(카풀)나 탄력근무제와 같은
전략을 개발하기 위해. 미래의
도로교통량을 미리 예상해
봄으로써 도로를 신설하거나
기존 도로의 수용량을 늘리고
전철 또는 지하철과 같은 교통
시설을 개발하기 위한 결정을
내립니다.

•	 지방 정부가 예산 책정, 프로그램

평가 및 지역사회 개발 사업계획
수립을 위해.

•	 Informacje o dochodach

umożliwiają porównywanie

Departament Transportu
Stanów Zjednoczonych do
planowania ulepszeń sieci dróg,
opracowywania usług transportu
publicznego i opracowywania

drogowego.

•	 Informacje na temat wieku służą

do dystrybucji funduszy i usług w
ramach programów federalnych
dla dzieci i dla osób starszych.

•	 Odpowiedzi na pytania

dotyczące dochodów i warunków
mieszkaniowych są gromadzone
i wykorzystywane przez
Departament Mieszkalnictwa
i Rozwoju, aby ocenić
potrzeby zapewnienia pomocy
mieszkaniowej dla osób
starszych, niepełnosprawnych i
właścicieli domów, którzy mają
niskie dochody.

•	 Informacje na temat rasy,

pochodzenia latynoskiego
i języka, którego używa się
w domu służą do określenia
wymogów w zakresie
dwujęzycznych dokumentów
wyborczych na podstawie ustawy
o prawie do głosowania oraz do
kontrolowania równouprawnienia

Rasa i pochodzenie latynoskie
są traktowane jako różne pojęcia

PESQUISA ÀS COMUNIDADES NOS EUA	

O que é a Pesquisa às Comunidades
nos EUA?

A Pesquisa às Comunidades nos EUA
é uma pesquisa realizado pelo Censo
dos EUA em todos os municípios,
áreas indígenas americanas e nativas
do Alasca e Havaí.
A Pesquisa às Comunidades nos EUA
proporciona a todas as comunidades
deste país dados econômicos,
sociais, demográficos e habitacionais
importantes. As comunidades
nos informam que a Pesquisa às
Comunidades nos EUA ajuda a
tomar decisões conscientes, sendo
fundamental para o futuro.

census.gov/acs

Nunca ouvi falar da Pesquisa às
Comunidades nos EUA. Há quanto
tempo a realizam?
A Pesquisa às Comunidades nos EUA
começou em 1996, com uma amostra
dos municípios de todo o país. Hoje em
dia, a pesquisa é realizada em todos os
municípios dos Estados Unidos e em
Porto Rico, onde se chama Pesquisa à
Comunidade porto-riquenha.

De que forma são usadas as
respostas à Pesquisa às Comunidades
nos EUA?
As perguntas da Pesquisa às
Comunidades nos EUA são
necessárias para colher dados, para
administrar ou avaliar programas
do governo. Estas perguntas são
essencialmente as mesmas que têm
sido feitas nos censos a cada dez
anos.

•	 Os dados sobre a renda permitem
comparar os níveis econômico de
diferentes áreas. Muitos programas
federais e estaduais utilizam esses
dados para distribuir fundos para o
desenvolvimento da comunidade.
•	 As suas respostas às perguntas
sobre deslocamento para
o trabalho são usadas pelo
Departamento dos Transportes
dos Estados Unidos para planejar
melhorias nas auto-estradas,
desenvolver serviços de transporte
público e conceber programas para
sanar os problemas do trânsito.
•	 Os dados sobre a idade são usados
em programas federais para
direcionar fundos ou serviços para
crianças, adultos ativos ou idosos.

PESQUISA ÀS COMUNIDADES NOS EUA

•	 As respostas às perguntas sobre
renda e habitação são resumidas
e usadas pelo Departamento de
Habitação e Planejamento Urbano
dos Estados Unidos para avaliar
a necessidade de assistência
domiciliar aos idosos, pessoas com
deficiência e proprietários com
baixa renda.
•	 Informações sobre raça, origem
hispânica e língua falada em
casa são usadas para determinar
a necessidade de disponibilizar
material bilíngue para as eleições,
ao abrigo da lei relativa aos direitos
de voto (Voting Rights Act), bem
como para controlar a igualdade
de oportunidades de emprego,
de acordo com a lei relativa aos
direitos civis (Civil Rights Act). Raça
e origem hispânica (ou etnicidade)
são considerados conceitos
distintos, que requerem perguntas
diferentes.
•	 As informações sobre o serviço
militar são basicamente usadas
pelo Departamento de Veteranos
de Guerra dos Estados Unidos
para avaliar as necessidades dos
veteranos e os programas para
veteranos relativos à educação,
emprego e saúde.

PESQUISA ÀS COMUNIDADES NOS EUA	

De que forma me beneficio
ao responder à Pesquisa às
Comunidades nos EUA?

As agências federais, os estados e as
comunidades dizem que não dispõem
de informações atualizadas das quais
precisam para melhor compreender
os problemas das comunidades,
responder às necessidades e criar
programas e designar recursos. Como
disse, uma vez, um líder comunitário:
“Adivinhar é sempre divertido, mas
raras vezes é eficaz.”

Ao responder à Pesquisa às
Comunidades nos EUA, você estará
ajudando a sua comunidade a
estabelecer objetivos comunitários,
a identificar problemas e soluções
comunitárias, a determinar instalações
e programas e a avaliar o desempenho
dos programas.
Os dados da Pesquisa às
Comunidades nos EUA são usados
por:
•	 Governos locais para estabelecer
orçamentos, avaliar programas
e planejar projetos de
desenvolvimento comunitário.

census.gov/acs

•	 Programas comunitários, como
programas para idosos, programas
de escoteiros, bibliotecas, bancos,
hospitais e outras organizações
comunitárias, a fim de prestar
serviços à comunidade e a localizar
edifícios, serviços e programas.

•	 Planejadores de transportes,
que utilizam os dados dos
deslocamentos diários das
pessoas que estão saindo do
trabalho ou indo para o trabalho
para planejar as horas de
trânsito intenso a fim de reduzir
congestionamentos, planejar o
estacionamento e desenvolver
estratégias, como programas de
carona solidária e horários de
trabalho flexíveis. São tomadas
decisões no sentido de construir
novas estradas ou de aumentar a
capacidade das estradas existentes
e de desenvolver sistemas de
transporte, como veículos leves
sobre trilhos e metrô, prevendo
futuras necessidades.

perguntas da Pesquisa às

Sim. A lei dos Estados Unidos exige
que responda a esta pesquisa (Título
1, Código dos Estados Unidos, Seções
141, 193 e 221).
As minhas respostas à pesquisa são
confidenciais?

Sim. A lei exige que o Censo dos
EUA mantenha suas informações
confidenciais. Não temos
permissãopara divulgar suas
respostas de modo a identificar o
domicílio. Deacordo com a lei Federal
Cybersecurity Enhancement Act de
2015, seus dados estão protegidos de
riscos cibernéticos através do rastreio
dos sistemas que os transmitem.
Por lei, o Censo só pode usar suas
respostas para produzir estatísticas.

PESQUISA ÀS COMUNIDADES NOS EUA

Tenho que responder à pesquisa se
estiver morando nesta residência
temporariamente?
Sim. Se estiver morando na residência
atual por mais de 2 meses, você terá
que responder à pesquisa por inteiro.
Se estiver residindo durante 2 meses
ou menos, tem de responder a uma
parte da pesquisa, de acordo com
as instruções. Um representante
do Censo pode ajudá-lo. Estas
informações ajudam as comunidades
no seu planejamento, já que ocorrem
alterações na população em
diferentes períodos do ano.
Tenho que responder a estas
perguntas todos os anos?
Não. Apenas uma pequena amostra
de residências é selecionada
para participar da Pesquisa às
Comunidades nos EUA. Uma
residência só pode ser selecionada
para a amostra uma vez a cada
5 anos. Estas residências são
selecionadas aleatoriamente e
representam outras residências na
comunidade. É por isso que é tão
importante que todos os domicílios
selecionados respondam.

АНКЕТИРОВАНИЕ НАСЕЛЕНИЯ США ПО МЕСТУ ЖИТЕЛЬСТВА	

Что такое Анкетирование населения
США по месту жительства?

Бюро переписи населения проводит
анкетирование населения США по месту
жительства в каждом округе страны, а
также в местах проживания американских
индейцев, коренных жителей Аляски и
Гавайских островов.
Анкетирование населения США по месту
жительства ежегодно предоставляет
важную информацию о населении
нашей страны в экономической,
социальной и демографической сфере и
в области жилья. Местные организации
и общественность сообщают нам, что
анкетирование населения США по
месту жительства помогает принимать
правильные решения на местном уровне
и является важным условием для
будущего развития регионов.

census.gov/acs

Я не слышал о проведении
Анкетирования населения США по
месту жительства. Как долго оно уже
проводится?
Анкетирование населения США по месту
жительства началось в 1996 году в ряде
округов, расположенных в разных районах
страны. Сегодня такое анкетирование
проводится во всех округах Соединенных
Штатов.

АНКЕТИРОВАНИЕ НАСЕЛЕНИЯ США ПО МЕСТУ ЖИТЕЛЬСТВА

Как используются ответы на вопросы,
которые я предоставил
в ходе анкетирования населения
США по месту жительства?

Вопросы, включенные в анкетирование
населения США по месту жительства,
нужны для сбора данных, необходимых
для проведения правительственных
программ или их оценки. Эти вопросы
представляют собой практически те же
самые вопросы, которые задаются в ходе
переписи населения.
•	 Информация о доходе дает
возможность сравнить экономические
уровни различных районов.
Многие федеральные программы и
программы штатов используют эти
данные для распределения средств,
предназначенных для экономического
развития на местах.
•	 Ваши ответы на вопросы,
посвященные дороге на работу,
используются Министерством
транспорта для планирования
улучшения скоростных шоссейных
дорог, развития услуг общественного
транспорта и создания программ,
направленных на решение
транспортных проблем.
•	 Информация о возрасте используется
в федеральных программах для
распределения финансовых средств
или услуг, предназначенных для
детей, взрослого работоспособного
населения или для лиц пожилого
возраста.

•	 Ответы на вопросы о доходах и
жилье суммируются и используются
Министерством жилищного
строительства и городского развития
США для оценки потребностей
в области помощи с жильем,
предоставляемой престарелым,
инвалидам и домовладельцам с
низкими доходами.
•	 Информация о расе,
латиноамериканском происхождении
и языке, на котором общаются
дома, используется для выработки
правил, требующих употребления
двух языков при проведении выборов
согласно Закону о праве на участие
в голосовании и для наблюдения
за обеспечением равноправия
при приеме на работу согласно
Закону о гражданских правах.
Раса и латиноамериканское (или
этническое) происхождение считаются
различными понятиями и поэтому
требуют отдельных вопросов.
•	 Информация о военной службе
используется в основном
Министерством США по делам
ветеранов для определения
потребностей этой категории
населения страны, а также для оценки
программ, связанных с образованием,
трудоустройством и медицинским
обслуживанием ветеранов.

АНКЕТИРОВАНИЕ НАСЕЛЕНИЯ США ПО МЕСТУ ЖИТЕЛЬСТВА	

Что дают мне ответы на вопросы,
содержащиеся в Aнкетировании
населения США по месту жительства?
Федеральные ведомства, штаты и
местные органы власти говорят, что
не имеют актуальной информации,
необходимой им для лучшего понимания
местных проблем, удовлетворения
существующих на местах потребностей,
осуществления программ и выделения
ресурсов. Как сказал один из местных
руководителей, «угадывание
всегда интересно, но редко бывает
эффективно».
Отвечая на вопросы, содержащиеся в
анкете, Вы содействуете постановке
нужных задач на местах, выявлению
местных проблем и их решению,
помогаете в определении учреждений
и программ, а также в деле оценки
эффективности этих программ.
Данные, полученные в ходе
анкетирования населения США по месту
жительства, используются:
•	 Местными органами управления
для составления бюджетов, оценки
программ, а также планирования
проектов по развитию на местах.

census.gov/acs

•	 Местными программами, такими,
как программы для пожилых
американцев и молодежи, а также
библиотеками, банками, больницами
и другими местными организациями
для предоставления услуг
местному населению и нахождения
необходимых зданий, услуг и
программ.
•	 Теми, кто занимается
транспортным планированием.
Используя информацию о дороге
на работу, они составляют планы
пиковых транспортных нагрузок для
уменьшения автомобильных пробок,
планы парковок автотранспорта
и разрабатывают стратегию,
включающую программы совместных
поездок на работу и гибкие рабочие
графики. Принимаются решения
о строительстве новых дорог или
расширении уже существующих,
а также о создании транспортных
систем, таких как рельсовые
транспортные средства или
метро, методом прогнозирования
интенсивности будущих транспортных
потоков.

АНКЕТИРОВАНИЕ НАСЕЛЕНИЯ США ПО МЕСТУ ЖИТЕЛЬСТВА

Обязан ли я отвечать на вопросы,
содержащиеся в анкете, заполняемой
по месту жительства?

Должен ли я отвечать на вопросы,
если я проживаю по данному адресу
временно?

Да. Согласно закону Bы обязаны
ответить на вопросы, содержащиеся
в этой анкете (часть 13 Кодекса
законов США, разделы 141, 193 и 221).
Тот же самый закон обеспечивает
конфиденциальность предоставляемой
Вами информации.

Да. Если Вы находитесь по данному
адресу более 2 месяцев, Вы должны
ответить на все вопросы. Если Вы
находитесь по этому адресу 2 месяца
или меньше, то в соответствии с
инструкциями Вы должны ответить на
часть вопросов. При необходимости
представитель Бюро переписи населения
поможет Вам в этом. Такая информация
помогает подготавливать планы по мере
того, как население меняется в разное
время года.

Должен ли я отвечать на эти вопросы
каждый год?
Нет. Только небольшое количество
адресов отбирается для участия в
анкетировании населения США по месту
жительства. Один и тот же адрес может
быть отобран для участия в опросе
не чаще одного раза в пять лет. Эти
домохозяйства выбираются по принципу
случайного отбора и представляют
другие домохозяйства данного района.
Вот почему очень важно, чтобы все
отобранные домохозяйства ответили

什么是美国社区问卷调查?

美国社区问卷调查是美国人口普查局在
每一个县、美洲印第安人和阿拉斯加本
地人地区以及夏威夷本土人地区所进行
的一项调查。
美国社区问卷调查每年向美国的社区提
供至关重要的经济、社会、人口特征和
住房信息。社区的人士告诉我们,美
国社区问卷调查帮助他们作出明智的
决定,对他们的未来起到极为重要的
作用。

census.gov/acs

我从未听说过美国社区问卷调查。
你们从事此项调查已有多长时间?
美国社区问卷调查从 1996 年开始,
在全国选出的一些试点县进行。如今,
该项调查在美国所有的县和波多黎各开
展,后者称为波多黎各美国社区问卷
调查。

我在美国社区问卷调查中作出的
回答将被如何使用?

美国社区问卷调查中的问题用于搜集管
理或评估政府计划所需的数据。这些问
题基本上与每十年一次的人口普查中提
出的问题相同。
• 	 收入信息可用于比较不同地区的经
济水平。很多联邦和州计划使用此
类数据分配用于社区发展的资金。
• 	 美国交通部将根据您对上下班交通
问题的回答,来规划高速公路的改
进,开发公共交通服务和设计缓解
交通问题的计划。

美国社区问卷调查

• 	 有关种族、西班牙裔及在家使用的
语言的信息被用于确定《选举权法
案》所规定的双语选举要求,也将
被用于监管《民权法案》所规定的
平等就业机会。种族和西班牙裔(
或族裔)是两个不同的概念,因此
需要用不同的问题。
• 	 美国退伍军人事务部根据服兵役
的信息衡量退伍军人的需求,并且
评估有关退伍军人教育、就业和健
康护理问题的计划。

• 	 联邦计划根据有关年龄的信息,
来分配用于儿童、工作适龄成年人
或老年人的资金或服务。
• 	 对收入和住房问题的回答将由美国
住房与城市发展部进行汇总,并用
来评估有关老年人、残障人士和低
收入房主的住房协助需求。

我如何从回答美国社区问卷调查中
受益?

联邦机构、州政府和社区认为,
他们没有所需的最新信息,以更好地理
解社区问题、对社区需求作出回应以及
分配计划和资源。正如一位社区领导人
所说:“猜测总是一件有趣的事,但很
少会有成效。”
通过回答美国社区问卷调查问卷,您可
以帮助您所在的社区建立社区目标,发
现社区问题和解决方案,确定设施和计
划的位置以及衡量计划的绩效。

census.gov/acs

• 	 社区计划,例如老年人计划、童子
军计划、图书馆、银行、医院和其
他社区组织,用于向社区提供服务
和确定建筑物、服务和计划的位
置。

• 	 交通规划者利用“上下班交通”信
息,来规划高峰期交通,以便减少
交通堵塞状况,规划停车并制定策
略,例如合伙搭车项目和灵活工作
时间。通过预测未来的需求,作出
有关决定,以建造新道路或扩大现
有道路容量以及开发运输系统,例
如轻轨或地铁。

以下机构和人员使用美国社区问卷调
查数据:
• 	 地方政府用于预算,评估计划和规
划社区发展项目。

Câu trả lời trong bản khảo sát

Có. Cục Thống Kê Dân Số Hoa Kỳ
được pháp luật yêu cầu bảo mật thông
tin của quý vị. Chúng tôi không được
phép công bố công khai các phản hồi
của quý vị theo cách có thể nhận diện
gia đình quý vị. Theo Đạo luật Tăng

khỏi các rủi ro an ninh mạng thông qua
sàng lọc các hệ thống truyền đi dữ liệu
của quý vị. Theo luật, Cục Thống kê chỉ
được sử dụng các phản hồi của quý vị
để tạo ra các số liệu thống kê.	

Tôi có phải trả lời các câu hỏi
này mỗi năm không?
Không. Chỉ một số địa chỉ mẫu được
chọn tham gia vào cuộc Khảo Sát
Cộng Đồng Mỹ. Một địa chỉ chỉ có
thể được chọn làm mẫu mỗi 5 năm
một lần. Những địa chỉ này được
chọn ngẫu nhiên và tiêu biểu cho
những địa chỉ khác trong cộng đồng.
Đó là lý do vì sao việc các hộ được
chọn làm mẫu phải trả lời lại quan
trọng như vậy.

Trân trọng, Giám Sát Viên Chương Trình Tài liệu đính kèm MEASURING AMERICA Issued January 2020 Your Answers, Your Future The American Community Survey (ACS) provides vital information on a yearly basis about our nation and its people. Through the ACS, we know more about jobs and occupations, educational attainment, veterans, whether people own or rent their home, and other topics. Public officials, planners, and entrepreneurs use this information to assess the past and plan the future. When you respond to the ACS, you are doing your part to help your community plan hospitals and schools, support school lunch programs, improve emergency services, build bridges, and inform businesses looking to add jobs and expand to new markets, and more. The ACS consists of 72 questions pertaining to the topics shown below. What we ask about... How your responses help... Employment The ACS asks whether respondents are employed, unemployed, and out of the labor force. It also asks about weeks and hours worked and about industry and occupation. This information helps government at all levels better understand unemployment and the availability of workers, plan unemployment programs and services, and develop programs to boost employment. Communities learn which occupations and industries are growing in their areas and businesses can find locations with the workforce they need. PHARMACY Boutique Help Wanted Education The ACS asks about school enrollment, gathering information on America’s students from nursery school to graduate school and on whether they are in a private or public school. It also asks about educational attainment—did the respondent earn a high school diploma or the equivalent, a bachelor's degree, or higher? These statistics help communities to measure how well educational resources are serving their populations, measure changes in education over time, evaluate the educational attainment of the workforce, and identify the educational and training needs of adults. This information also helps communities to bridge gaps between the educational attainment of potential workers and the educational requirements of potential employers. Veterans The ACS asks about a person’s military service, where veterans are moving throughout the country, their ages, and their VA service-connected disability rating status to understand veterans’ needs at the community level. Though the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) maintains veterans’ records, the ACS provides additional statistics about all veterans, regardless of whether they utilize VA services. These statistics about veterans help communities plan for future health care and nursing homes, plan and fund job training, and improve the home loan guarantee program. They also benefit businesses looking to hire or serve veterans. Hospital Income and Housing Costs Bills The ACS asks several questions about the money you receive from various sources and your regular living expenses such as rents, mortgages, taxes, and utilities. The statistics that result from these questions help gauge the need for economic and housing assistance. How many people live in poverty, what are their characteristics— the ACS is the only source of these data at the community level. Income and poverty estimates factor into funding requests that address need. When combined with income, selected monthly owner costs provide an excellent measure of affordability and excessive shelter costs. Grocery Store Commuting The ACS asks about your daily commute—where you go, how you get there, what time you leave for work, and how long it takes— to understand where people are traveling during a normal day. Precise information about your commuting patterns is crucial to planning improvements to roads and highways, developing transportation and services, and creating emergency response strategies. Disability and Health Insurance The ACS asks about a person’s difficulty with specific daily living tasks: Do you have difficulty seeing or hearing? Do you have difficulty walking or climbing stairs or in dressing or bathing? Communities use these statistics to plan services such as transportation, employment programs, and public service accessibility for people with disabilities. Businesses that serve this population may also seek areas that have a high demand for their services. The ACS also asks whether people have health insurance, including type of health insurance for those who have health coverage plans. From these statistics, we learn which groups are at risk of experiencing limited health care access, poor health, and poor health outcomes. Housing Characteristics The ACS asks questions about plumbing, kitchen facilities, and other housing features to help identify areas with substandard housing. Through your ACS responses, we learn about communities eligible for housing assistance, rehabilitation loans, and other programs that help people afford decent, safe, and sanitary housing. Questions about the size and age of housing also flag local problems like overcrowding, health hazards, and congestion. Your responses help communities plan solutions. In places where disaster strikes, these data are vital in planning recovery. Owners and Renters For Sale For Rent The ACS asks about whether you own or rent your home, and the amount of monthly rent or how much the home and property are worth. These statistics are used to analyze whether housing is affordable, protect owners and renters, and allocate and fund assistance programs. Governments use these statistics to understand changes in local housing markets, monitor affordability, qualify for assistance, and reduce the tax revenue losses from vacant or abandoned properties. Businesses use these data to design and market homes, and home goods. People and Relationships The ACS asks respondents about their age, sex, race, Hispanic origin, and their relationship to others in the household. This information, along with other statistics, is used to monitor well-being, discrimination, and economic hardship. Federal agencies use this information to administer programs providing funds and services for groups such as single parents, low-income families, older people living alone, etc. Businesses use these estimates to evaluate local market demand for products and services.

The ACS is an on-going survey that tells us what the population looks like and how it lives. A sample of residents who live or stay in your facility is included in the ACS. Estimates from the ACS are used by federal, tribal, state, and local governments, as well as by private nonprofit organizations and communities, for example: ● Local governments use these estimates for budgeting, evaluating programs, and planning for community development projects, such as those for the older population, scout programs, libraries, and hospitals. ● Other organizations use this information to provide services to the community and to plan or establish new facilities, buildings, and programs. ● Administrators at your own facility may use ACS estimates themselves. Throughout the year, representatives for the ACS contact different facilities, such as correctional facilities, juvenile facilities, military barracks, and college residence halls. During the next month, one of our ACS field representatives will contact you or someone in your office to discuss the survey and to schedule an appointment to visit your facility. The field representative will: ● answer any questions you may have about the ACS or about interviewing residents of your facility. ● collect and verify basic information about your facility, such as the facility name and address. ● ask for a list of residents who are currently living or staying at your facility to establish a basis for their sample. ACS-18(LZ)(GQ)(LOS ANGELES)(2020)(2-14-2019) census.gov ● select a random sample of residents to take part in the ACS. ● interview the selected residents. If a resident is unable to participate in an interview, the field representative will work with you to determine if there are other ways to get the needed information. Selected residents will be asked to respond to the ACS and provide information about various topics such as education and employment.

The American Community Survey is a survey conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau in every county, American Indian and Alaska Native Area, and Hawaiian Home Land. It replaced the long form in the decennial census and greatly simplified operations so that the focus of the decennial census is solely on counting the population. The American Community Survey provides current demographic, social, economic, and housing characteristics every year. In the past, this information was only available every 10 years when the decennial census was conducted. Estimates from the American Community Survey help communities make informed decisions and is a key to their future. The American Community Survey does not count the population, but it does provide information that reflects what the population looks like and how it lives. That information is vital for states and local communities in determining how to plan for schools, roads, senior citizen centers, and other goods and services. The U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved this survey and gave it OMB approval No. 0607-0810. Displaying this number shows that the Census Bureau is authorized to conduct this survey. Please use this number in any correspondence concerning this survey. Respondents are not required to respond to any information collection unless it displays a valid approval number from the OMB. 1 www.census.gov/acs We have not heard of the American Community Survey. How long have you been conducting it? The American Community Survey began in 1996 in a sample of counties across the country. The American Community Survey began sampling group quarters in 2006. Today, the survey is conducted in all U.S. counties, as well as in Puerto Rico where it is called the Puerto Rico Community Survey. How does this group quarters and its residents benefit by answering the American Community Survey? The American Community Survey provides up-to-date information for your community. By responding to the American Community Survey you are helping your community to establish goals, identify problems and solutions, and measure the performance of programs. AMERICAN COMMUNITY SURVEY Communities need data about the well-being of children, families, and the elderly to provide services to them. These estimates are also used to decide where to locate new highways, schools, libraries, hospitals, and community centers, and to determine the goods and services its residents need. What type of group quarter facilities are included in the American Community Survey? Examples of group quarter facilities include: • College/university student housing. • Residential treatment centers for adults. • Nursing facilities/ skilled-nursing facilities. • Group homes intended for adults. • Military quarters. • Correctional facilities for adults. • Workers’ group living quarters and Job Corps centers. 2 AMERICAN COMMUNITY SURVEY www.census.gov/acs Why did the Census Bureau select this group quarters facility? What level of assistance is expected from my staff during the survey period? Group quarters facilities are randomly selected each year from a sample list of all group quarters in your area. The larger the group quarters, the greater the probability that it will be selected to participate in the survey one or more times each year. Your staff will be asked to: Your participation is very important for us to be able to produce accurate information from this survey. We have already participated in this survey. How many times during the year will the Census Bureau sample my facility? The number of times we visit your facility depends on the size of your facility. Large facilities may be sampled multiple times throughout the year. • Provide a list of residents currently staying at your facility. • Give the Census Bureau representative access to the sample residents to conduct interviews. • Inform the Census Bureau representative of any special requirements that may assist them in conducting interviews at your facility. How are residents at my facility selected to be in the sample? After you provide a list of all residents currently staying at your facility, field representatives randomly select residents to take part in the American Community Survey. One of the advantages of a random sample is that we can use it to measure the whole 3 www.census.gov/acs population without having to actually interview every resident at every facility. But in order for it to work properly, we cannot substitute sample residents—the sample has to be truly random. Do the sampled group quarters and sampled residents have to answer the questions on the American Community Survey? Yes. You are required by law to answer the American Community Survey. Two provisions of Title 13, United States Code, require your participation. Section 221 of Title 13 makes it mandatory for individuals to participate in the American Community Survey, and Section 223 of Title 13 makes it mandatory for building owners and others to provide access to individuals in order to conduct the American Community Survey group quarters interviews. The same law protects the confidentiality of the information 4 AMERICAN COMMUNITY SURVEY you provide. For more information about Title 13, you may visit the Census Bureau’s Web site at and select the topic: “American Community Survey: Must I respond?” How will information be collected from sampled residents in this facility? The American Community Survey collects residents’ information through face-to-face or telephone interviews. This can either be with the sampled resident or a proxy respondent. The sampled resident may also fill out the questionnaire on his/her own. The Census Bureau representative will leave the questionnaire with the resident and return to pick up the completed questionnaire at an agreed upon time. AMERICAN COMMUNITY SURVEY www.census.gov/acs Why do you select residents who may be physically or mentally unable to answer the American Community Survey? Residents are randomly selected to take part in the American Community Survey. Sampled residents may designate another person, such as a relative, guardian, or facility administrator to help with the survey. The facility administrator may talk with the Census Bureau representative to resolve any issues. To produce the most accurate results, it is very important that every resident selected for the survey is included. How long will it take to complete the survey? We estimate that the facility survey will take about 15 minutes to complete and each resident survey will take about 25 minutes to complete. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden, to: Paperwork Reduction Project, U.S. Census Bureau, 4600 Silver Hill Road, ADDC-4H277, Washington, DC 20233. You may e-mail comments to [email protected]; use “Paperwork Project” as the subject. Can the sampled resident interviews be done via e-mail or online? No. At this time, the survey cannot be completed via e-mail or online. Why do you ask detailed questions that may seem unnecessary for residents living in this facility? The American Community Survey asks very detailed questions because we are required to collect specific information that is used for a variety of federal and state programs. The questionnaire is used for residents of many types of facilities. Therefore, not every question will apply to everyone who receives it. 5 www.census.gov/acs Will the Census Bureau keep the group quarter facility and resident information confidential? Yes. The U.S. Census Bureau is required by law to keep your information confidential. The Census Bureau is not permitted to publicly release your responses in a way that could identify you. Per the Federal Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2015, your data are protected from cybersecurity risks through screening of the systems that transmit your data. How will the Census Bureau use the information the group quarters and sampled residents provide? By law, the Census Bureau can only use your responses to produce statistics. The Census Bureau is not permitted to publicly release your responses in a way that could identify you. Per the Federal Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2015, your data are protected from 6 AMERICAN COMMUNITY SURVEY cybersecurity risks through screening of the systems that transmit your data. The Census Bureau will also use this information to improve the American Community Survey, ultimately resulting in even better data for your community and the nation. Who can see the answers this group quarters or its residents provide to the survey? Your facility and resident responses will only be seen by Census Bureau personnel with a work-related need to know. The Census Bureau protects the confidentiality of the information. The police cannot see it and no court of law can see it. No one can see or use your specific answers to enforce any type of law or amend any kind of benefit.

When will results of the survey be available? The previous years’ results of the American Community Survey are released every fall. Survey estimates are released each year for areas of 65,000 or more people. For smaller areas, results are available in the form of 3-year and 5-year estimates.

The ACS is separate from the 2020 Census. This year, some residents will be contacted by representatives from both the ACS and the 2020 Census. Your response is required by U.S. law (Title 13, United States Code (U.S.C.), Sections 141, 193, 221,and 223).

The field representative will arrange for a convenient time to pick it up. The ACS produces critical, up-to-date information that is used to meet the needs of communities across the United States. For example, results from this survey may be used to decide where new schools, hospitals, and fire stations are needed. The ACS estimates are used by federal, tribal, state, and local governments to make decisions and to develop programs that will provide healthcare, education, and transportation services that affect you and your community.

The Census Bureau is not permitted to publicly release your responses in a way that could identify you. Per the Federal Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2015, your data are protected from cybersecurity risks through screening of the systems that transmit your data. The same law that protects the con dentiality of your answers requires that you provide the information asked in this survey to the best of your knowledge. ACS-30(GQ)(2019) (8-2018) Page 3 What the Survey is About – Some Questions and Answers Why are we taking a survey? The Census Bureau is conducting the American Community Survey to provide more timely data than data we typically collect only once every 10 years during the decennial census. What does the Census Bureau do with the information you provide? The American Community Survey will be the source of summarized data that we make available to federal, state, and local governments, and also to the public. The data will enable your community leaders from government, business, and non-pro t organizations to plan more effectively. Why did you select this Group Quarters (GQ) facility and how did I get selected? Group quarters facilities are randomly selected each year from a sample list of all group quarters in your area. The larger the group quarters, the greater the probability that it will be selected to participate in the survey one or more times each year. From a list provided by the GQ contact person of all residents currently staying at the GQ, eld representatives randomly select residents to take part in this survey. One of the advantages of a random sample is that we can use it to measure the whole population without having to actually interview every person at every GQ. But in order for it to work, we cannot substitute sampled facilities or individuals -- the sample has to be truly random. Your participation is very important to us to be able to produce accurate information from this survey. Why the Census Bureau Asks Certain Questions Here are reasons we ask some of the questions on the survey. Name Names help make sure that we don’t duplicate persons selected at this place for the survey. Individual identities are kept con dential. Place of birth This question provides information used to study long-term trends about where people move and to study migration patterns and differences in growth patterns. Job Answers to the questions about the jobs people hold provide information on the extent and types of employment in different areas of the country. From this information, communities can develop training programs, and business and local governments can determine the need for new employment opportunities. Income Income helps determine how well families or persons live. Income information makes it possible to compare the economic levels of different areas, and how economic levels for a community change over time. Funding for many government programs is based on the answers to these questions. Education Responses to the education questions in the survey help to determine the number of new public schools, education programs, and daycare services required in a community. Disability Questions about disability provide the means to allocate federal funding for healthcare services and new hospitals in many communities. ACS-30(GQ)(2019) (8-2018) Page 4 How to Fill Out the American Community Survey Form Use blue or black ink to complete the form. Please mark the category or categories as they apply to you. Some questions ask you to print the information. See examples below. Make sure you answer all the questions that apply to you. Read these instructions and also follow the instructions provided throughout the questionnaire. These instructions will help you understand the questions and to answer them correctly. If you need assistance, call the number that the eld representative has provided to you. Examples of Printed and Marked Entries 13 a. Do you speak a language other than English at home?

ACS-30(GQ)(2019) (8-2018) Page 5 Please answer BOTH question 4 about Hispanic origin and question 5 about race. For this survey, Hispanic origins are not races. 4. You are of Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish origin if your origin (ancestry) is Mexican, Mexican American, Chicano, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Argentinean, Colombian, Costa Rican, Dominican, Ecuadorian, Guatemalan, Honduran, Nicaraguan, Peruvian, Salvadoran, from other Spanish-speaking countries of Central or South America or from Spain.

This question should be answered by all individuals. 5. Mark all boxes for the appropriate races. The concept of race, as used by the Census Bureau, re ects self-identi cation by individuals according to the race or races with which they identify. The instruction before question 4, "For this survey, Hispanic origins are not races" re ects the federal government’s treatment of Hispanic origin and race as separate and distinct concepts. People who identify their origin as Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish may be of any race. People may choose to provide two or more races either by marking two or more race response boxes, by providing multiple write-in responses, or by some combination of marking boxes and writing in responses.

If you were born in Washington, D.C., print "District of Columbia." For people born outside the United States: Mark the "Outside the United States" box, and then print the name of the foreign country or Puerto Rico, Guam, etc. where you were born.

Legal Permanent Residents (LPRs) or "green card" holders, or other non-naturalized immigrants or visitors to the U.S. are not citizens of the United States and therefore should mark the "No, not a U.S. citizen" box. 9a. A public school is any school or college that is supported and controlled primarily by a local, county, state, or federal government. Schools are private if supported and controlled primarily by religious organizations or other private groups.

You may report two ancestry groups (for example: German, Irish). 13a. Mark the "Yes" box if you sometimes or always speak a language other than English at home. Mark the "No" box if you speak only English, or if a non-English language is spoken only at school or is limited to a few expressions or slang. 13b.

ACS-30(GQ)(2019) (8-2018) Página 3 De Qué Trata la Encuesta – Algunas Preguntas y Respuestas ¿Por qué hacemos una encuesta? La O cina del Censo está llevando a cabo la Encuesta sobre la Comunidad Estadounidense para proveer datos más actualizados que los que generalmente se recopilan sólo una vez cada 10 años durante el censo decenal. ¿Qué hace la O cina del Censo con la información que usted provee? La Encuesta sobre la Comunidad Estadounidense será la fuente de datos resumidos que ponemos a la disposición del gobierno federal, los gobiernos estatales y locales, y del público. Los datos ayudarán a los líderes de su comunidad en el gobierno, negocios y organizaciones sin nes de lucro a planear e cazmente. ¿Por qué se seleccionó este Alojamiento de Grupo (GQ) y cómo fue seleccionado? Cada año, se seleccionan al azar las instalaciones de alojamientos de grupo (GQ) basada en una lista de muestra de todos los alojamientos de grupo de su área. Mientras más grande es el alojamiento de grupo, mayor es la probabilidad de ser seleccionado para participar en la encuesta una o más veces cada año. La persona contacto del GQ suministra una lista de todos los residentes que se quedan actualmente en el GQ. De esta lista, los representantes del Censo seleccionan residentes al azar para participar en esta encuesta. Una de las ventajas de la muestra al azar es que nos permite medir la población total sin tener que entrevistar a cada persona en cada GQ. Para que esto funcione, no podemos sustituir instalaciones o a individuos en la muestra; la muestra tiene que ser verdaderamente al azar. Su participación es muy importante para nosotros, porque nos permite producir información precisa de esta encuesta. Por Qué la O cina del Censo Hace Ciertas Preguntas A continuación se indican las razones por las cuales hacemos algunas de las preguntas en la encuesta. Nombre Los nombres ayudan a asegurar que las personas seleccionadas en este lugar para la encuesta no se listen dos veces. Las identidades de los individuos se mantienen con denciales. Lugar de nacimiento Esta pregunta provee información que se usa para estudiar tendencias a largo plazo de la movilidad de las personas y para estudiar patrones de migración y diferencias en el aumento de la población. Empleo Las respuestas a las preguntas sobre el empleo de las personas proveen información sobre la variedad y los tipos de empleo en las diferentes áreas del país. Utilizando esta información, las comunidades pueden desarrollar programas de entrenamiento, y los negocios y gobiernos locales pueden determinar la necesidad de nuevas oportunidades de empleo. Ingreso El ingreso ayuda a determinar cuán bien viven las familias o las personas. La información sobre ingreso hace posible comparar los niveles económicos de diferentes áreas y cómo los niveles económicos de una comunidad cambian a través del tiempo. Los fondos para muchos programas gubernamentales se basan en las respuestas a estas preguntas. ACS-30(GQ)(2019) (8-2018) Página 4 Educación Las respuestas a las preguntas sobre educación en la encuesta ayudan a determinar el número de escuelas públicas, programas de educación y servicios de cuidado diurno nuevos que se requieren en una comunidad. Impedimentos Las preguntas sobre impedimentos proveen los medios de asignar fondos federales para servicios de salud y nuevos hospitales en muchas comunidades.

The PRCS is separate from the 2020 Census. This year, some residents will be contacted by representatives from both the PRCS and the 2020 Census. Your response is required by U.S. law (Title 13, United States Code (U.S.C.), Sections 141, 193, 221, and 223). A PRCS field representative from the Census Bureau will conduct a personal interview with you, or you may complete the survey questionnaire yourself. We estimate this survey will take about 25 minutes of your time. If you fill out the questionnaire yourself, please place it in the envelope that the PRCS field representative gave you. The field representative will arrange for a convenient time to pick it up. The Puerto Rico Community Survey paints a picture of life in Puerto Rico—education, housing, jobs, and more. Every year, this survey provides up-to-date information to community leaders as well as federal, Puerto Rico, and municipio governments. This information can be used to identify the services and programs your community needs. For example, this survey can provide information to plan services for the elderly, emergency services, and federal aid. The Census Bureau is required by law to keep your information confidential.

ACS-30(GQ)(PR)(2019) (8-2018) Page 3 What the Survey is About Some Questions and Answers Why are we taking a survey? The Census Bureau is conducting the Puerto Rico Community Survey to provide more timely data than data we typically collect only once every 10 years during the decennial census. What does the Census Bureau do with the information you provide? The Puerto Rico Community Survey will be the source of summarized data that we make available to federal, Puerto Rico, and local governments, and also to the public. The data will enable your community leaders from government, business, and non-pro t organizations to plan more effectively. Why did you select this Group Quarters (GQ) facility and how did I get selected? Group quarters facilities are randomly selected each year from a sample list of all group quarters in your area. The larger the group quarters, the greater the probability that it will be selected to participate in the survey one or more times each year. From a list provided by the GQ contact person of all residents currently staying at the GQ, eld representatives randomly select residents to take part in this survey. One of the advantages of a random sample is that we can use it to measure the whole population without having to actually interview every person at every GQ. But in order for it to work, we cannot substitute sampled facilities or individuals -- the sample has to be truly random. Your participation is very important to us to be able to produce accurate information from this survey. Why the Census Bureau Asks Certain Questions Here are reasons we ask some of the questions on the survey. Name Names help make sure that we don’t duplicate persons selected at this place for the survey. Individual identities are kept con dential. Place of Birth This question provides information used to study long-term trends about where people move and to study migration patterns and differences in growth patterns. Job Answers to the questions about the jobs people hold provide information on the extent and types of employment in different areas of Puerto Rico. From this information, communities can develop training programs, and business and local governments can determine the need for new employment opportunities. Income Income helps determine how well families or persons live. Income information makes it possible to compare the economic levels of different areas, and how economic levels for a community change over time. Funding for many government programs is based on the answers to these questions. Education Responses to the education questions in the survey help to determine the number of new public schools, education programs, and daycare services required in a community. Disability Questions about disability provide the means to allocate federal funding for healthcare services and new hospitals in many communities. ACS-30(GQ)(PR)(2019) (8-2018) Page 4 How to Fill Out the Puerto Rico Community Survey Form Use blue or black ink to complete the form. Please mark the category or categories as they apply to you. Some questions ask you to print the information. See examples below. Make sure you answer all the questions that apply to you. Read these instructions and also follow the instructions provided throughout the questionnaire. These instructions will help you understand the questions and to answer them correctly.

ACS-30(GQ)(PR)(2019) (8-2018) Page 5 Please answer BOTH question 4 about Hispanic origin and question 5 about race. For this survey, Hispanic origins are not races. 4. You are of Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish origin if your origin (ancestry) is Mexican, Mexican American, Chicano, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Argentinean, Colombian, Costa Rican, Dominican, Ecuadorian, Guatemalan, Honduran, Nicaraguan, Peruvian, Salvadoran, from other Spanish-speaking countries of Central or South America or from Spain. The term Mexican Am. refers to persons of Mexican-American origin or ancestry. If you mark the "Yes, another Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish origin" box, print the name of the speci c origin. If you are not of Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish origin, answer this question by marking the "No, not of Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish origin" box. This question should be answered by all individuals. 5. Mark all boxes for the appropriate races. The concept of race, as used by the Census Bureau, re ects self-identi cation by individuals according to the race or races with which they identify. The instruction before question 4, "For this survey, Hispanic origins are not races" re ects the federal government’s treatment of Hispanic origin and race as separate and distinct concepts. People who identify their origin as Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish may be of any race. People may choose to provide two or more races either by marking two or more race response boxes, by providing multiple write-in responses, or by some combination of marking boxes and writing in responses. If you mark the "American Indian or Alaska Native" box, print the name of your enrolled or principal tribe(s) in the space provided (for example, Navajo Nation, Blackfeet Tribe, Muscogee (Creek) Nation, Mayan, Doyon, Native Village of Barrow Inupiat Traditional Government, and so on).

La O cina del Censo está llevando a cabo la Encuesta sobre la Comunidad de Puerto Rico para proveer datos más actualizados que los que generalmente se recopilan sólo una vez cada 10 años durante el censo decenal. ¿Qué hace la O cina del Censo con la información que usted provee? La Encuesta sobre la Comunidad de Puerto Rico será la fuente de datos resumidos que ponemos a la disponibilidad del público y del gobierno federal, el gobierno de Puerto Rico y los gobiernos locales. Los datos ayudarán a los líderes de su comunidad en el gobierno, negocios y organizaciones sin nes de lucro a planear e cazmente. ¿Por qué se seleccionó este alojamiento de grupo (GQ) y cómo fue seleccionado? Cada año, se seleccionan al azar las instalaciones de alojamientos de grupo (GQ) basada en una lista de muestra de todos los alojamientos de grupo de su área. Mientras más grande es el alojamiento de grupo, mayor es la probabilidad de ser seleccionado para participar en la encuesta una o más veces cada año. La persona contacto del GQ suministra una lista de todos los residentes que se quedan actualmente en el GQ. De esta lista, los representantes del Censo seleccionan residentes al azar para participar en esta encuesta. Una de las ventajas de la muestra al azar es que nos permite medir la población total sin tener que entrevistar a cada persona en cada GQ. Para que esto funcione, no podemos sustituir instalaciones o a individuos en la muestra; la muestra tiene que ser verdaderamente al azar. Su participación es muy importante para nosotros, porque nos permite producir información precisa de esta encuesta. Por Qué la O cina del Censo Hace Ciertas Preguntas A continuación se indican las razones por las cuales hacemos algunas de las preguntas en la encuesta. Nombre Los nombres ayudan a asegurar que las personas seleccionadas en este lugar para la encuesta no se listen dos veces. Las identidades de los individuos se mantienen con denciales. Lugar de nacimiento Esta pregunta provee información que se usa para estudiar tendencias a largo plazo de la movilidad de las personas y para estudiar patrones de migración y diferencias en el aumento de la población. Empleo Las respuestas a las preguntas sobre el empleo de las personas proveen información sobre la variedad y los tipos de empleo en las diferentes áreas del país. Utilizando esta información, las comunidades pueden desarrollar programas de entrenamiento, y los negocios y gobiernos locales pueden determinar la necesidad de nuevas oportunidades de empleo. Ingreso El ingreso ayuda a determinar cuán bien viven las familias o las personas. La información sobre ingreso hace posible comparar los niveles económicos de diferentes áreas y cómo los niveles económicos de una comunidad cambian a través del tiempo. Los fondos para muchos programas gubernamentales se basan en las respuestas a estas preguntas. ACS-30(GQ)(PR)(2019) (8-2018) Página 4 Educación Las respuestas a las preguntas sobre educación en la encuesta ayudan a determinar el número de escuelas públicas, programas de educación y servicios de cuidado diurno nuevos que se requieren en una comunidad.

Why did you select this group quarters facility, and how did I get selected? This GQ was selected from a sample of all GQs in your area. The GQ and individuals are randomly selected from this list each year, so we cannot substitute another GQ for this one. One of the advantages of a random sample is that we can use it to measure the whole population without having to actually interview every person at every GQ. But in order for it to work, we cannot substitute sampled facilities or individuals; the sample has to be truly random.

First Name: Clint Last Name: Summers Mailing Address: Mailing Address 2: City: Tulsa Country: United States State or Province: Oklahoma ZIP/Postal Code: 74104 Email Address: Phone Number: Organization Name: Cover Page: December 17, 2018 Ms. Jennifer Jessup Departmental Paperwork Clearance Officer Department of Commerce Room 6616 14th and Constitution Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20230 Submitted via http://www.regulations.gov (Docket # USBC-2018-0014) RE: Comments on The American Community Survey Dear Ms. Jessup, On behalf of the Arab American Institute (AAI), we are pleased to provide comments in response to the Federal Register notice (the “Notice”). The Notice asks for comments on three issue areas important to Arab Americans and other communities across the country: changing the race and ethnicity question to match the 2020 Census, the reliance on technology in filling out the American Community Survey (ACS), and ways to generally minimize the burden on respondents while maintaining the integrity of the data. As an organization, AAI seeks to nurture and encourage the direct participation of Arab Americans in political and civic life in the United States. AAI represents the policy and community interests of Arab Americans and strives to promote Arab American participation in the U.S. electoral system. Serving as a central resource to policy makers, the media, political leaders, and community groups on a variety of public policy issues that concern Arab Americans, AAI has been engaged in support of an accurate census count since its founding in 1985. AAI currently hosts the only Census Information Center tasked with dissemination of data about Arab Americans. We have been actively working with the Census Bureau (the Bureau), coalition groups, and a working group that we cofounded and lead, in preparation for the 2020 Census. It has been of mutual interest for AAI and the Bureau to find the best way to ensure a fair and accurate count for Arab Americans and other MENA populations for the upcoming Census. AAI views the ACS as an important part of maintaining accurate data on Arab Americans. Considering the decennial is every 10 years, the ACS provides more timely insight and updated data that can be used to understand various communities in the United States. Further, given the ACS asks questions not on the decennial census, for many, including Arab Americans. It is the only source of data about our communities. 1600 K Street, NW Suite 601 Washington, DC 20006 | (202) 429-9210 | Fax (202) 429-9214 | www.aaiusa.org To improve the quality of the data on the ACS, AAI would urge the Bureau to include the tested combined question format, which would result in the implementation of the MENA category. The combined question format was introduced with the intention of providing more granular and accurate data across all racial and ethnic groups. Research done by the Bureau found that “the strategy to combine the race and Hispanic origin questions into one item resulted in dramatically lower item nonresponse compared to the separate race and Hispanic origin questions.”1 The addition of the combined question allows for granular data about race and ethnicity in the United States while increasing the likelihood of valid responses on the form because of the plurality of options presented to individuals across the country. The 2015 National Content Test: Race and Ethnicity Analysis Report showed that the combined question format allowed for reliability in responses and allowed for diversity in responses by individuals who identify with more than one race or ethnicity. 2 It is within this combined question format that a MENA category could be included to ensure a more accurate count. AAI supports the inclusion of a distinct MENA category, as the Arab American community, one of several benefiting from the addition of a MENA category, has long suffered from a census undercount. This undercounting of members of our community has resulted in a lack of data to accurately assess community needs, possible denial of government services, and the potential of political underrepresentation. The lack of access to basic services and rights can range from language assistance at polling places to greater access to health information and research. During the 1997 review of federal standards to measure race and ethnicity in the United States, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) concluded that further research was needed on an Arab or Middle Eastern ethnic category. 3 Since then, AAI has been working closely with the Bureau to explore ways to better reach, enumerate, and study these growing and complex population groups. It was field testing done on the National Content Test that showed the benefits of adding a MENA category in efforts to get more accurate census data.4 As it currently stands the Arab American community is severely undercounted. Federal statistics estimate there are 1.96 million Arab Americans living in the United States, a gross underestimate of the community. Research done by AAI suggests a more accurate estimate is around 3.66 million Arab Americans. 5 While it was reassuring that research from the Bureau supported the addition of a MENA category to address an undercount, AAI was not provided with a credible rationale as to why the category United States.

Through a request pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, AAI obtained documents from OMB, yet none of the documents provide an explanation for the MENA category’s omission. The omission of the MENA category, which was tested and proven to be beneficial to ensure an accurate count, generates concern among stakeholders, who do not understand why the Bureau is not moving forward with a tested category that would improve the count. Though the MENA category might not be included on the decennial Census, AAI still finds that this addition would lead to much more accurate data, more accurate than that was obtained during the Census enumeration. Since the Bureau did not move forward with the addition of the MENA category, the ACS is the only place that Arab Americans and other communities within the MENA designation would be able to get data on our communities. As it currently stands, the ACS is the only way that Arab Americans are able to get any understanding of the increase in population, the diversity within the community, and the growth of the population. Through the ACS we are able to get a snapshot of various aspects of parts of the Arab American community—from levels of educational attainment, employment, and income levels we are able to see how to better inform our efforts to assist all Arab Americans in their daily lives. Data attained by the ACS gives us the only insight into the diversity of the Arab American community, their needs, and the growth patterns of the community. It is vital to organizations like AAI who rely on the ACS to get better quality data about the community to ensure that the ACS continues to ask and collect data on ancestry that is then made available to the public through data tools like American Fact Finder. As a community-based organization with a long-held vested interest in accurate federal data, we are troubled by the various ways that this data has been put at stake for our community. Actions that compromise the accurate, constitutionally mandated collection of data will harm communities across the country, including Arab Americans. It is imperative that federal officials act at this time to (1) add a MENA category, (2) continue asking about ancestry and (3) work to ensure the integrity of Census Bureau data and ensure all people are counted. These recommendations will uphold the commitment of the Census Bureau to gather accurate data that can be used as a snapshot for the larger American public through the American Community Survey.
