Mike KleinGUEST
Well, uh, just give you a picture.
Mike KleinGUEST
So latest estimates from the census Bureau, the American community survey, which is a survey sample estimate shows that there's about 1.1 million foreign born in North Carolina.
Mike KleinGUEST
That's about 11% of our population.
Mike KleinGUEST
Uh, and then if you take out, you know, so part of that is about 600,000 that are non-citizens.

Mita AnandGUEST
And we would lose that.
Mita AnandGUEST
And it's not easily found through other data sets.
Mike CollinsHOST
So although the 2020 census asked couples who were living together to describe their partners either as opposite sex or same sex, the first Trump administration blocked efforts to add a question about sexual orientation to the American Community Survey, which is something that is conducted between the decennial censuses.
Mike CollinsHOST
Every five years after the census, they do these American community surveys.
Christopher ThornbergGUEST
And if you subdivide it, we just got some recent data from the survey of consumer finance.
Christopher ThornbergGUEST
We got some new data from the American Community Survey.
Christopher ThornbergGUEST
And all of that says that really people at every level of the economy are doing pretty well right now.
Christopher ThornbergGUEST
But of course, that's not the story.
Nick TscheekarGUEST
So on our data website, nevadatomorrow.org, that's where we house roughly 500 different indicators, and we update those as soon as they become available.
Nick TscheekarGUEST
So a lot of those are from sources like the American Community Survey, the CDC for health-related metrics, but then we also provide some localized context on them.
Nick TscheekarGUEST
So it's one of those things you could be watching the news, scrolling on social media, and so many times you'll hear the U.S. average or the state average.
Nick TscheekarGUEST
And what do those figures really mean?
Tim WeisbergHOST
What I got was from the U.S. Census Bureau.
Tim WeisbergHOST
And it's something called the American Community Survey.
Tim WeisbergHOST
So it's something that the U.S. Census does.
Tim WeisbergHOST
So I got more information from the... mayor's office about what went on with trying to get the the the street list done and just give me one second because i'm trying to open that email because i had the other one open uh but what i was told uh
Jose Francisco AvilaHOST
The Census Bureau plans to continue asking these questions.
Jose Francisco AvilaHOST
on the American Community Survey, ACS, and draws supplemental information from administrative and third-party data systems.
Jose Francisco AvilaHOST
The Bureau is also soliciting public input on whether to add an explicit legal status question to the decennial form or rely on match government and commercial records to categorize residents.
Jose Francisco AvilaHOST
So the dilemma boils down to three core questions.
Jose Francisco AvilaHOST
Erasure by algorithm.
Jose Francisco AvilaHOST
Now consider the second issue, stripping race and ethnicity questions from the decennial enumeration.
Jose Francisco AvilaHOST
The Census Bureau argues the American Community Survey can fill the gap.
Jose Francisco AvilaHOST
But remember, the ACS is a sample survey, not a 100% headcount.
Stephanie Watkins-CruzHOST
Moving on to reports and resources.
Stephanie Watkins-CruzHOST
Last week, the U.S. Census released the one-year American Community Survey, or ACS, data for 2025.
Stephanie Watkins-CruzHOST
Novogratic reports that the data showed a 3.75% increase in national median income, which they estimate will increase the 2027 cap on HUD income limit increases by slightly more than 7.5%.
Stephanie Watkins-CruzHOST
This, of course, will have impacts on rents and home prices that are part of HUD or federal programs.
Adrien HalliezGUEST
One of the things that happens with that is that pollsters... to give them a little bit of credit, have become much more careful and much more sophisticated in how they correct for their polls.
Adrien HalliezGUEST
So they take the sample, they look at the population based on the census or the American Community Survey, which is giving you a large sample size so you can compare to some benchmarks at the national level, some standards.
Adrien HalliezGUEST
If you need certain demographics, you can compare to the census and see how many you have got.
Adrien HalliezGUEST
And then you can weight the responses.
Ryan GirduskyHOST
Last note before we get to ask me anything.
Ryan GirduskyHOST
The census came out with their community, American Community Survey for 2025.
Ryan GirduskyHOST
I look forward to these ACS polling from the census and ACS data from the census.
Ryan GirduskyHOST
It's super important.
Ram PendyalaGUEST
Work from home share in the ATUS shows about 20% of full-time workers on a typical weekday are working from home.
Ram PendyalaGUEST
If you look at the ACS, 2025 just dropped.
Ram PendyalaGUEST
He pulled all of his algorithms and got all the statistics.
Ram PendyalaGUEST
And you can see the work from home share is still evolving ever slowly, but it is evolving.
8 MINS LATER
Ram PendyalaGUEST
I think a lot of these forces are here to stay.
Ram PendyalaGUEST
The one that actually I am somewhat curious about because I see this slow but steady drop is work from home.
Ram PendyalaGUEST
Those who see the percent in ACS, in the American Community Survey, who say that their usual mode to work is work from home.
Ram PendyalaGUEST
I think that one is still playing out, but the others I think are just taking root in society.
Kirk DornHOST
That's according to new data from the U.S. Census Bureau.
Kirk DornHOST
Their American Community Survey put New York City close to 18 percent for a poverty rate, Chicago at 17 percent.
