These profiles are similar in content to the demographic profiles from the decennial censuses.\n\nNote: The ACS data profile for demographic characteristics and housing units should be used if official estimates from the Population Estimates Program are not available. The DP-1: General Demographic Characteristics table from the population estimates program will provide the official intercensal population estimates.\n\nIn the American FactFinder, these profiles have a table identifier (Table ID) beginning with \"DP.\"",
