Not only government programs but just about every corporation uses the American Community Survey data so they can do things like plan product lines.

Oh yes! That data is a especially important for small businesses and start-ups who do not have the financial resources to purchase the data corporations have access to as well. So many data projects in the non-profit and private sector start with the freely available data put out by the census. The Trump admin and short sighted republicans who focus on gerry-mandering have no idea what they are screwing with.
