Approximately 16 percent of households received a "long form" of the 2000 census, which contained over 100 questions. It would be the last census to include the "long form", since subsequent censuses, starting with the 2010 census, would be "short form" only, with the more detailed questions being replaced by the new American Community Survey.

From 1970 to 2000 the CTPP used data from the decennial census long form. The long-form decennial census was discontinued after the 2000 decennial census and in 2006 much of the content of the long form was replaced with the ACS. [5] As a result, the CTPP now uses the ACS data.
