Selected American Community Survey (https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs) variables from Mesa and other nearby municipalities. This dataset uses 5-year estimates, is the most reliable estimates available, includes the largest sample size and provides data for all areas including census tracts. This dataset is released annually: 2009-present. This dataset is best used when precision is more important than currency, analyzing very small populations, examining tracts and other smaller geographies because 1-year estimates are not available.
