Census Data
The U.S. Census Bureau conducts a survey of every person in the United States once every ten years, collecting information on population, age, sex and homeownership. In 2010 these will be the only questions on the survey. The Census Bureau has replaced the decennial detailed information survey with the American Community Survey (ACS). The ACS provides detailed information on the population every year.  

Below are some of the more commonly requested items from the last full U.S. Census survey in 2000. To access all available Census information, visit the US Census Bureau.
