2021 ACS with 2010 Census (Age)

Compare with Caution

The population continually ages—people enter into older age groups while babies fill the youngest age group. This means that a completely different set of people make up each age group from one time period to the next. Since populations occasionally experience booms/increases (for example, the postwar Baby Boom from 1946-1964) and busts/decreases in births, deaths, or migration, one should not necessarily expect that the population in an age group in 2010 Census should be similar in size or proportion to the population in the same age group in different data year(s). For example, Baby Boomers were ages 46 to 64 in the 2010 Census while they were ages 57 to 75 in the 2021 1-year ACS, and ages 53 to 75 in the 2017-2021 5-year period. So, the age groups 65 to 69 and 70 to 74 would show considerable increase in population when comparing 2010 Census data with the single year or multiyear ACS data.

Compare

2021 ACS with 2020 Census (Group Quarters Population)

Compare with Caution

The total group quarters (GQ) population in the ACS may not be comparable with Census 2020 because there are some Census 2020 GQ types that were out of scope in the ACS such as maritime/merchant vessels, soup kitchens, regularly scheduled mobile food vans, and shelters for victims of natural disasters. “” The exclusion of these GQ types from the ACS may result in a small bias in some ACS estimates to the extent that the excluded population is different from the included population.
