August is ACS Awareness Month, when we highlight the importance of the American Community Survey in the work of so many organizations, including Minnesota Compass. Because of the ACS, we can learn more about Minnesota's residents and communities. Why is this important? Well, government agencies, nonprofits, schools, policymakers, advocates, businesses, and others can use these data to make informed decisions about the programs, plans, and policies that positively impact those they serve. Take a look at the data collected by the ACS: census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/data.html #ACSawarenessmonth #AmericanCommunitySurvey #DataForAll #MNdata
