[Genealib] 2010 Census

[Joy Rich]

A press release about the 2010 census is at
http://www.census.gov/acs/www/SBasics/Final_2010_Census_and_American_Community_Survey_Subjects_Notebook.html .

The first part of the press release reads "The U.S. Census Bureau submitted to Congress
the subjects it plans to address in the 2010 Census, which include gender, age, race,
ethnicity, relationship and whether you own or rent your home. Estimated to take less than
10 minutes to complete, the 2010 Census would be one of the shortest and easiest to
complete since the nation's first census in 1790."

A link toward the bottom of the page (Final 2010 Census and American Community Survey
Subjects Notebook (PDF)) leads to the 107-page PDF file at
http://www.census.gov/acs/www/Downloads/Final_2010_Census_and_American_Community_Survey_Subjects_Notebook.pdf ,
titled Subjects Planned for the 2010 Census and American Community Survey: Federal
Legislative and Program Uses. Each page describes a question included in the American
Community Survey and explains the reason(s) for asking it as well as which federal laws
and which agencies' needs are met by the answers to the question.
