ADDITIONAL DATA

• Planning Division Benchmarking: The Planning Division annually tracks the number of development applications and permits received by calendar year and fiscal year, along with the 10-year average. Other metrics such as staff reports, inspections, and pre-development meetings are also tracked. 
• American Community Survey (off-site link): The US Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS) provides demographic, housing, social, and economic information using a survey form similar to the 'long form' used for Census 2000 (and earlier). Unlike the decennial census, ACS data is the product of a rolling survey sent to a sample of citizens and are the surveys collected by the US Census for a given period of time (from one to five years). By contrast, the decennial census attempts to collect information for all citizens for one specific day (e.g. April 1, 2010). Note: ACS data is included in the Census Quick Facts link referenced above.
