Resource Abstract:
- description: The American Community Survey (ACS) is a nationwide survey conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau that is designed
to provide communities a fresh look at how they are changing. It is a critical element in the Census Bureau's reengineered
decennial census program, incorporating the detailed socioeconomic and housing questions that were previously asked on the
decennial census long form into the ACS questionnaire. The ACS now collects and produces this detailed population and housing
information every year instead of every ten years. Data are collected on an on-going basis throughout the year and are released
each year for large geographic areas, those with 65,000 persons or more. However, sample sizes are not large enough for annual
releases that cover smaller areas, those with less than 65,000 persons. Data that are suitable for areas with 20,000 to 65,000
persons are accumulated over three years and termed a three-year period estimate, the first of which was for the 2005-2007
period. Data that are suitable for areas with less than 20,000 persons are accumulated over five years and termed a five-year
period estimate, the first of which was for the 2005-2009 period. The data in this series of RGIS Clearinghouse tables are
for all New Mexico counties and are based on the 2005-2009 ACS Five-Year Period Estimates collected between January 2005 and
December 2009. These data tables are a summary of all major housing topics published through the ACS, providing information
about the condition of housing, and illuminating various financial characteristics of the housing stock. Major topics include
housing occupancy, year structure built, rooms and bedrooms, housing tenure (owners and renters), year householder moved into
unit, vehicles available, type of house heating fuel, units without complete plumbing and kitchen facilities or without telephone
service, occupants per room, home value, mortgage status, monthly owner costs, owner costs as a percentage of household income,
gross rent, and gross rent as a percentage of household income. Percentages are shown along with numeric estimates for most
data items. Because the data are based on a sample the Census Bureau also provides information about the magnitude of sampling
error. Consequently, the estimated margin of error (MOE) is shown next to each data item. Each housing topic is covered in
a separate file in both Excel and CSV formats. These files, along with file-specific descriptions (in Word and text formats)
are available in a single zip file.; abstract: The American Community Survey (ACS) is a nationwide survey conducted by the
