Data Profile Highlights:

NOTE. Although the American Community Survey (ACS) produces population, demographic and housing unit estimates,
it is the Census Bureau's Population Estimates Program that produces and disseminates
the official estimates of the population for the nation, states, counties, cities and towns and
estimates of housing units for states and counties.
