The U.S. Census Bureau conducts the American Community Survey (ACS), an ongoing survey that provides data every year - giving communities the current information they need to plan investments and services. Information from the survey generates data that help determine how more than $400 billion in federal and state funds are distributed each year.
To help communities, state governments, and federal programs, the American Community Survey asks about:

• age
• gender
• race
• ancestry
• nativity
• family and relationships
• language
• income and benefits
• occupations
• health insurance
• education
• veteran status
• disabilities
• internet access
• where you work and how you get there
• where you live and how much you pay for some essentials

All this detail is combined into statistics that are used to help decide everything from school lunch programs to new hospitals.
The U.S. Census Bureau provides a large number of tools to find and view current ACS data at the state, county, and census tract level, through data.census.gov.

The NH State Data Center has created the following resources for cities and towns, displaying data collected by the American Community Survey updated for the period 2016-2020. All documents have been saved in Comma Separated Values Comma Separate Values  format. Files are saved in this open source format so they are accessible to the greatest number of users.
