First round of 2012 American Community Survey results released

The U.S. Census Bureau has just released the first round of data from the 2012 American Community Survey (ACS). This survey is the primary source of demographic, income and poverty data for the United States. It covers more than 40 topics ranging from language spoken at home to selected monthly homeowner costs.

As usual, these figures can be accessed from the American FactFinder.
