Being a Data Point!

I received notice the other day that my household was selected for the American Community Survey (ACS). The ACS is probably the best survey for household data in the U.S., as it is collected annually, is sampled very carefully by the U.S. Census, and can be linked to income tax data. This survey provides a significant amount of information for my field of study, and I'm excited to become a data point in the data set we use frequently!
