ACS Data Users Group

Hi all,

I'm trying to find out what languages the ACS has been conducted in most recently, along with what procedures that there were for if there was not someone with a language proficiency high enough to participate in the survey. On the page where you can download the survey, I saw that the only available options were for Spanish and English; is there a webpage that discusses limitations regarding language other than that?

Thanks!

Good morning Dallas -

The ACS methodology report has a chapter on language that notes phone support in 15 languages. And personal interview support in "more than 30 languages." But yes--for the written questionnaire it's English/Spanish.

Chapter 9 of the methodology report has details https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/methodology/design-and-methodology.html
