The Decennial Census “counts the population (short form) and collects economic, social and housing characteristics about communities and population groups (long form)”. The American Community Survey replaces the long form, and contains more detailed information than the decennial census. The American Community Survey released data from a 5-year survey taken between 2005-2009 on December 14, 2010. “Immigrants Make Paths to Suburbia, not Cities”, The New York Times, December 14, 2010.
