New 3-Year 2008-2010 ACS Contrast Charts by County and Place

We have uploaded around 2,500 new chart documents based on the 2008-2010 American Community Survey (ACS). The charts compare African Americans, Latinos, and non-Hispanic whites across a range of socio-economic indicators.

The 2008-2010 ACS is the first three-year ACS  to reflect the full impact of the Great Recession.

These documents include most places and counties in the nation with sizable African-American or Latino populations -- i.e., populations over 20,000 that are at least 10% African American or Latino. (Some counties and places that meet these criteria are excluded from this update due to missing population data or data suppression in the ACS.)

Documents are up to 64 pages in length, but there are fewer tables and charts for some localities due to data suppression.
