I have just recently relied on the ACS data to write a 3 year comprehensive plan for HIV services in the Charlotte Transitional Grant Area (Ryan White funding for areas severely and disportionately affected by HIV disease). We all rely on the ACS for basic information on community income and other basic demographic data - it is essential to public health planning.REPORT COMMENTS
