  • American Community Survey (ACS)
    The annual survey of about 3.5 million addresses that replaced the decennial long form, covering income, poverty, housing costs and tenure, commuting, educational attainment, disability, language, veteran status, and migration. One-year estimates are published for areas above 65,000 population; five-year estimates cover everywhere, including the smallest rural places. In most rural Western counties the five-year file is the only option, and margins of error on small-population estimates should be reported alongside the estimates.

  • Area and Road Ruggedness Scales
    Measures of topographic variation for census tracts in all 50 states and DC. The Area scale covers all terrain in a tract; the Road scale covers only terrain beneath roads, which speaks to travel time and service access in mountainous country. A one-time release rather than an updating series.

  • Arizona Office of Economic Opportunity
    The state’s official population estimates and projections, produced under statute. County and municipal estimates annually; state and county projections to 2060 in low, medium, and high series. The office states plainly that its estimates differ from Census Bureau figures for methodological reasons.
