Families in America

March 1, 2016
This volume presents the American Community Survey (ACS) demographic data covering 201113 for family units in a variety of U.S. states, counties, and metropolitan areas. Standard census categories are included, with a special focus on family data, such as multigenerational homes, same-sex-partner households, and more. The data is displayed nationally and by state, county, and major cities. The resource also provides a brief overview of the ACS and how it differs from the census, as well as details on accessing ACS data online. This is an accessible ready-reference resource for most libraries that have a lot of census or statistical questions.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2016, American Library Association.)
