Population Demographics
The population demographics data was obtained from the American Community Survey 2020 which is made public through the United States Census Bureau.
The American Community Survey (ACS) helps local officials, community leaders, and businesses understand the changes taking place in their communities. It is the premier source for detailed population and housing information about our nation.
Is the American Community the same as the Census? No, the American Community Survey is different from the 2020 Census.
The American Community Survey shows how we live—our education, housing, jobs, and more. The American Community Survey provides information about the social and economic needs of your community every year.
The census is conducted every ten years to provide an official count of the entire U.S. population to Congress.
