Where's the income? A note on 'wealth indicator' data

Please note that these are "SF1" databases, as in "100% count". Census SF1 data sets do not include any wealth indicators, such as income.

For Census 2010, the Census Bureau collects wealth-related data through the American Community Survey (ACS). The ACS is an ongoing, permanent survey. It has various data release periods, the "ACS 5-year summary" data release is equivalent to the Census Bureau's discontinued long form.

If you want to read more about the Census American Community Survey, there is a good summary on the Census Bureau website:
