American Community Survey 2020 Data Hub
The American Community Survey (ACS) is a survey administered by the Census Bureau covering topics such as social, economic, housing, and demographic characteristics. The ACS surveys around 3.5 million addresses and informs over $675 billion of federal government spending each year. Due to Covid-19, outreach and participation significantly decreased in 2020, and the data collected did not meet quality standards for the 2020 1-year estimates. As such, the Census Bureau released 2020 1-year experimental estimates in place of the regular tables.
After a thorough data review conducted by the Census Bureau, the 2020 5-year estimates are now available as of March 17, 2022. Throughout this data hub, you can find analyses and tools we have developed to explore 2020 ACS data (compared to previous years of data where applicable).
Sign up to receive our newsletter and be the first to hear when new analysis, tools, and datasets are released. (Note: If you are already signed up for our newsletter, this will simply ensure you also receive our special census email updates.)

Even as people across the state at all levels engage in efforts to ensure all of Connecticut’s residents have a chance to thrive, marked disparities still exist in educational attainment, employment, and earnings across racial and ethnic groups in Connecticut. We wondered what the ACS 2016-2020 5-year estimates could show us about inequities that persist in the state. Read our latest research on racial disparities across the state and within Connecticut’s five largest cities.
