What:

The U.S. Census Bureau is hosting a webinar to provide guidance on the first of two rounds of new demonstration data on the disclosure avoidance system for the 2020 Census Demographic and Housing Characteristics File (DHC).

The DHC is the successor to Summary File 1 from previous censuses and includes a range of demographic and housing information. “Person” tables in the DHC include content on sex, age, Hispanic origin, race, relationship to householder, and group quarters. “Housing” tables include content on tenure, vacancy, household type, family type, and characteristics of the householder. Some of the person and housing tables are also repeated by race and ethnicity.

When:

Tuesday, March 22, at 3 p.m. EDT

Who:

• Jason Devine, assistant division chief, Population Division, U.S. Census Bureau
• Alexandra Krause, survey statistician, Population Division, U.S. Census Bureau
• Meghan Maury, senior advisor, Office of the Director, U.S. Census Bureau

Access:

The webinar will consist of a simultaneous audio conference and online presentation. Attendees will be able to ask questions before and during the presentation. Please log in 10-15 minutes early, as some setup is required. An updated browser is recommended.
