Data Sources and Updates These profiles are based on the "2006-2008 3-year estimates" from the Census Bureau 2008 American Community Survey (ACS) which became available in late 2009. The profiles will be updated in late 2010 with "2007-2009 3-year estimates" (areas 20,000 population and over) and "2005-2009 5-year estimates" (all geographic areas to the block group level of geography). Proximity develops current demographic estimates and projections for this scope of subject matter. See the 3-year calendar at http://proximityone.com/cen2010.htm that summaries release dates for the Census 2010, ACS and Proximity estimates and projections. The "2006-2008 3-year estimates" are estimates based on a survey of respondents conducted over the period 2006 through 2008. The estimates are centric to mid-2007 but do not reflect estimates for a specific point in time. Collecting/tabulating data over a 3 year period provides sufficient respondent data to develop reliable estimates for geographic areas 20,000 population or more. Additional Information Proximity develops geodemographic-economic data and analytical tools and helps organizations knit together and use diverse data in a decision-making and analytical framework. We develop custom demographic/economic estimates and projections, develop geographic and geocoded address files, and assist with impact and geospatial analyses. Wide-ranging organizations use our tools (software, data, methodologies) to analyze their own data integrated with other data. Contact Proximity (888-364-7656) with questions about data covered in this section or to discuss custom estimates, projections or analyses for your areas of interest.
