Annual LGBTQ+ Community Survey Publications
Produced by the
HRC Foundation
The Annual LGBTQ+ Community Survey (ALCS) is one of the largest ongoing research efforts dedicated to documenting the lived experiences, priorities, and challenges of LGBTQ+ people across the United States.
The survey provides timely insights into issues such as health equity, safety and belonging, civic engagement, economic stability, and policy impacts.
This page serves as the central hub for ALCS reports, data briefs, and methodological documentation.
