The ACS replaced the decennial census long form in 2010 and now collects long-form-type information on a continuing basis rather than every 10 years, providing more current data. The ACS provides a regular stream of updated information for states and local areas and has revolutionized the way we use data to understand our communities. It produces social, housing, and economic characteristics for demographic groups.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fourth edition of The Who, What, and Where of America uses the 2010–2012 ACS data to present a concise resource of information that tells a story about America—its population, levels of education, types of employment and housing, and patterns of migration and transportation in one, convenient volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Who, What, and Where of America pulls details from the ACS that identify America at a certain point in time:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWho: Age, Race and Ethnicity, and Household Structure\u003cbr\u003eWhat: Education, Employment, and Income\u003cbr\u003eWhere: Migration, Housing, and Transportation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach part is preceded by highlights and ranking tables that show how areas diverge from the national norm.
