How to access Data for places within a county
Using the 5-year American Community Survey Estimate
- The US Census Bureau recently released new 2005-2009
American Community Survey (ACS) 5- year
estimates that can be drilled down to the census tract level.
- Using the American FactFinder, users can search for social,
demographic, housing, and economic Data for nearly all the neighborhoods, zip
codes and cities and even the very small towns within a county.
- This tool enables the Northeast Washington Trends users to
supplement the county-wide look of
the Northeast Washington Trends site.
The cities/towns covered by the ACS include:
Chewelah
Colville
Kettle Falls
Springdale
