The social, economic, and housing characteristics of our communities and counties that we used to get every 10 years from the Decennial Census are now collected through the American Community Survey (ACS).

In addition to issues of Kentucky: By The Numbers, below are links to websites that provide access to data from the ACS.

To find data for all places, all counties, and all geographies in the nation (including Kentucky), go to the Census Bureau's website:
