Title:
American Community Survey Summary Files
Abstract:
The American Community Survey (ACS) provides detailed demographic, social, economic, commuting and housing statistics based on continuous survey data collection. Data collected over the most recent 5 years are batched, summarized and published the following year. Three-year summaries of the data are also available but are no longer being produced by the Census Bureau.
Purpose:
American Community Survey (ACS) provides detailed demographic, social, economic, commuting and housing statistics based on continuous survey data collection. Data collected over the most recent 5 years are batched, summarized and published the following year.
Summary tables compiled with 5-year data are available for all places and have approximately 20,000 variables from 900 tabulations. Summary tables compiled with 3-year data are available for places with population over 20,000 and have approximately 26,000 variables from 1,200 tabulations. (Note that the Census Bureau is no longer publishing three-year summary tables, but previous versions of the data are still available.) The published Census statistics have been recompiled by Metropolitan Council, with new field names, in order to accomplish definitional and categorical consistency between Census 1990, Census 2000, and ACS.

Currentness Reference:
Five-year summary data are available annually, starting with the 2005-2009 period for Regional, County, and Community totals; the most recent five-year summary data cover the 2018-2022 period. Five-year summary data are available annually, starting with the 2006-2010 period for Station Areas. The Census Bureau no longer publishes three-year summary data, but previous releases remain available for Regional, County, and Community totals, starting with the 2005-2007 period and ending with the 2011-2013 period.

Use Constraints:
Station Area are defined as half-mile, non-overlapping transit-influenced areas based on existing and planned transitway station locations as defined by MetroTransit. In general, transitway stations are defined as a centrally located, single station point representing multidirectional transit stops or platforms. Additional consolidations of transitway stations were made to "coexisting" multimodal stations (i.e., Blue Line's 46th Street Station (Hiawatha Ave) A-Line's 46th Street Station) before defining Station Area. Both the consolidation of stations and definition of station areas are supported by the Federal Transportation Administration (FTA) Reporting Instructions for the Section 5309 Capital Investment Grant Program.
The source and allocation methodology of data included in the Station Area Statistics can be found in the data layer metadata record.
Because some station areas can represent more than one transitway corridor, the statistics for all Station Areas are provided with the download of any data layer requested at the All Station Area geography. Each Station Area is associated with a transitway Corridor segment (Corridor_ID). A Corridor segment can include one (1) to eighteen (30) stations. Use the following matrix to associate and/or summarize Corridor segments to a specific corridor(s):
Corridor_ID = Corridor
1001, 1002, 1003, 1005, 1014, 1025, 1027, 1036, 1039 = Blue Line
1001, 1004 = Northstar Commuter Rail
1005, 1006 = Red Line
1001, 1002, 1007, 1015, 1025, 1027, 1031, 1039 = Green Line
1008, 1026, 1032 = Green Line Extension
1009, 1024, 1026 = Blue Line Extension
1010, 1027, 1034 = Orange Line
1012, 1029, 1033 = Gold Line
1019, 1029, 1031 = Purpled Line
1013, 1014, 1015, 1037 = A Line
1028, 1032, 1033, 1035, 1036, 1037, 1038 = B Line
1016, 1022, 1024, 1026, 1027 = C Line
1018, 1022, 1026, 1027, 1035 = D Line
1030, 1038, 1039, 1040 = E Line
1023, 1025, 1029, 1033 = Riverview
Note: avoid double counting common Corridor segments (i.e., 2001, 2002) when summarizing multiple corridors (i.e., Blue and Green Lines).

Section 2: Data Quality
Attribute Accuracy:
Statistics produced from the American Community Survey and included in ACS tables are survey-based estimates and are subject to error. The errors derive from research design (including instrument bias, data frame, and sampling), the survey data collection (non-response bias and response errors), and processing by the Census Bureau (data coding, compilation processes, and case weighting), as well as statistical inference error and uncertainty (which are related to sample size and variance within the measured attributes). US Census Bureau's report on "Accuracy of the Data" can be found at https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/technical-documentation/code-lists.html .
Erroneous geographic boundaries have led to inaccurate data for the City of Carver and Dahlgren Township. This issue affects only the 2016-2020 and 2017-2021 five-year estimates and was resolved in the 2018-2022 data (released December 2023).
Starting with the 2018-2022 five-year estimates, the Census Bureau began adjusting reported home values for inflation within the five-year period. This means that (for example) median home values in the 2018-2022 dataset were calculated from home values in 2018-2022 in 2022 dollars, while median home values in the 2017-2021 dataset were calculated from home values in nominal dollars. Therefore, some portion of the change in values from previous years is due simpliy to this inflation adjustment, and users should exercise caution when making comparisons between the 2018-2022 dataset and earlier datasets.
Starting with the 2016-2020 five-year estimates, the Census Bureau applied new question formats and data processing procedures for race and Hispanic/Latino origin. ( https://www.census.gov/newsroom/blogs/random-samplings/2021/08/improvements-to-2020-census-race-hispanic-origin-question-designs.html ) As a result, users should be careful when making comparisons of race and Hispanic/Latino origin between the 2016-2020 estimates and earlier ACS estimates.
On Nov. 28, 2017, the following edit was made:
--Corrections to language data (affects only some communities in the 2005-2007, 2006-2008, 2007-2009, and 2008-2010 3-year estimates)
On Dec. 5, 2016, the following edits were made:
--Additional data elements available for older data (1990, 2000, and pre-2012 ACS samples)
--Corrections to nativity data (people born abroad to American parents are now classified as native-born citizens rather than as foreign-born citizens)
--Corrections to language data (in some communities, counts in the LEP_SPAN field now include all residents rather than just hative-born residents)
--Corrections to disability data (in some communities, the estimated number of people with difficulty living independently was too small)
Logical Consistency:
The published Census statistics have been recompiled by Metropolitan Council, with new field names, in order to accomplish definitional and categorical consistency between Census 1990, Census 2000, and ACS. Median statistics (household income, house value, and gross rent) are available for the metropolitan statistical area (MSA) alone. The boundaries of the MSA have changed over time. For the 1990 Census, the Minneapolis-Saint Paul MSA included 11 counties--the seven counties of the Twin Cities region plus Chisago, Isanti, and Wright Counties in Minnesota plus St. Croix County in Wisconsin. For the 2000 Census and all ACS datasets up to and including the 2008-2012 five-year estimates, the Minneapolis-Saint Paul-Bloomington MSA included 13 counties--the 11 counties included in the 1990 MSA plus Sherburne County in Minnesota and Pierce County in Wisconsin. Starting with the 2009-2013 five-year estimates, the Minneapolis-Saint Paul-Bloomington MSA included 16 counties--the 13 counties listed above plus Le Sueur, Mille Lacs, and Sibley Counties in Minnesota. And starting with the 2015-2019 five-year estimates, the Minneapolis-Saint Paul-Bloomington MSA comprised 15 counties; Sibley County was dropped from the 16-county metro.

Lineage:
Data available annually, starting with period 2005-07 for 3-year data and 2005-09 for 5-year data. Each annual vintage release uses the most recent year's TIGER geographic boundaries. Starting with the 2016-2020 data, tract and block group boundaries are those used in the 2020 Census. If you need the most recent ACS data for the tract and block group boundaries used in the 2010 Census, contact Matt Schroeder (information below).
Historical data for geographies retired before 2007 is not available.
