As a sociologist, the ACS data is completely essential for researchers attempting to use the most up-to-date and recent statistics analyze and document changes in communities, as well as make policy suggestions. Without this data set, social science research will be less precise and less responsive to changes in the communities that need currently need the most in our country. Please do not end this important study.REPORT COMMENTS
