2026 American Community Survey

The Bureau of the Census (USBC) has issued a consultation regarding the proposed 2026 American Community Survey (ACS). This consultation seeks public input on the survey's content, methodology, and implementation for the upcoming cycle. The ACS is a critical data collection instrument used to provide up-to-date information about the nation's population and economy.

Regulated entities, particularly employers who may be involved in data provision or analysis, and government agencies utilizing this data, should review the proposed survey details. Public comments must be submitted by January 6, 2025. Failure to provide timely feedback may result in the survey proceeding without consideration of specific industry or governmental concerns.
