2006 San Fernando Valley American Community Survey
ACS data has been released for the newly designated San Fernando Valley Sub-County Census District (CCD). This special statistical district was created by request of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors and the Census Bureau conducted a special tabulation for the new Valley CCD along with its inaugural release of 2005 ACS data for the nation, states, counties, places, and other census statistical areas. Click the link for more information on the Valley ACS data and a map of the Valley ACS boundaries. Note, that the 2006 ACS data for the Valley was released after the Economic Summit on May 8th, 2008.
The ACS is a new data release for the Census Bureau that replaces the so-called long-form decennial census data. Instead of releasing population, social, economic, and housing data for a large sample of the population every 10 years, the Census Bureau is conducting a smaller sample of the population every year. Over a 5-year period, the new ACS survey data will provide accurate sample data down to the census tract level. Each year the sample size will provide relatively accurate data for the larger census geographies (those with a population over 65,000) and data will be released for those larger geographies every year. Medium-sized census geographies (25,000 to 65,000) will get data releases every 3 years (as the sample size accumulates sufficient information to provide a relatively accurate profile of those areas) and ACS census tract level data will be released every 5 years. For more detailed information on the ACS, see the Census Bureau ACS website: American Community Survey
The following tables provide demographic, social, economic, and housing data for the San Fernando Valley. For viewers convenience we have collected similar data for Los Angeles City, Los Angeles County, California, and the United States in these tables.
