+@url{https://www.census.gov/data/developers/data-sets.html, U.S.  Census},
+including SF1 (Decennial short-form), SF3 (Decennial long-form), and the
+American Community Survey (ACS).  Confidence intervals provided with ACS data
+are converted to standard errors to be bundled with estimates in complex
+@code{acs} objects.  The package provides new methods to conduct standard
+operations on @code{acs} objects and present/plot data in statistically
+appropriate ways.")
