The tables below show data collected from July 27—August 8, 2022. Like Phases 3.3 and 3.4, Phase 3.5 maintains a two-weeks on, two-weeks off collection and dissemination approach. Despite using two-week collection periods, 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 48 the Census Bureau sent invitations to 1,047,644 households and received a total of 46,801 responses, for a weighted response rate of 4.4%

The Census Bureau started the Household Pulse Survey (HPS) as an experimental endeavor to provide near-real time data on how people's lives have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. To move the survey forward and learn from previous data collection cycles, the Census Bureau is taking steps to assess and strengthen the research design of this important project.

One potential enhancement relates to how survey respondents are initially contacted. Beginning in Week 48 (July 27-August 8, 2022), the HPS began testing the utility of using a shortened URL in short-message service (SMS) text invitations for respondent contact. This approach allows for more SMS messages to be sent at reduced cost.

In addition, to reduce both administrative cost and respondent burden, the HPS team is researching improvements in the email address frame to improve overall email deliverability and coverage. The overall goal is to improve email response by removing unused and outdated email addresses that routinely bounce (are undeliverable) and use fewer, more effective email addresses to reach respondents.
