When Was The Data Collected?

Why Was The Data Collected?

"We ask questions about age and date of birth to understand the size and characteristics of different age groups and to present other data by age. Local, state, tribal, and federal agencies use age data to plan and fund government programs that provide assistance or services for specific age groups, such as children, working-age adults, women of childbearing age, or the older population. These statistics also help enforce laws, regulations, and policies against age discrimination in government programs and in society." Additionally, questions about place of birth, citizenship, or year of entry are used to create data about citizens, noncitizens, and foreign-born populations. This data can be used to inform immigration policies and understand the immigration experience. (source: https://www.census.gov/acs/www/about/why-we-ask-each-question/age/)
