Week 36 Household Pulse Survey: August 18 – August 30

September 08, 2021

Experimental Data Products

The tables below show data collected from August 18 through August 30, 2021. These tables are part of Phase 3.2 of the survey and continue the same biweekly collection and dissemination approach as earlier phases of the survey. Despite using a two-week collection period, the HPS continues to call these cycles “weeks” to maintain continuity with earlier phases.

All tables show data for the nation, each of the fifty states, plus Washington, D.C., and the fifteen largest metropolitan areas.

The HPS is designed to provide near real-time data on how the pandemic has affected people’s lives. Information on the methodology and reliability of these estimates can be found in the source and accuracy statements for each data release.

Data users interested in state level sample sizes, the number of respondents, weighted response rates, and occupied housing unit coverage ratios, can consult the quality measures file, available at the same location and below.

For Week 36 the Census Bureau sent invitations to 1,043,555 households and received a total of 69,114 responses, for a weighted response rate of 6.5%.
