Building on lessons learned from 2020 and prior censuses and incorporating valuable input, we have now finished the Design Selection Phase.

On Sept. 19, the Supplemental DHC File, the final 2020 Census data product, will be released. The blog concludes with a look ahead to 2030 Census data products.

The Census Bureau released the 2023 PDB, the first PDB to include operational statistics from the 2020 Census, including metrics on online self-response.

On May 25, the U.S. Census Bureau is set to release the next wave of data from the 2020 Census providing new details about our nation and communities.

We've heard from a number of data users lately who have questions about the status of our plans to strengthen confidentiality safeguards for our data products.

This blog provides an update on the schedule and next steps for the release of the Demographic Profile, the DHC, and the Detailed DHC product.

In this blog, we describe our current plans for developing and releasing these statistics and plans for other statistics in the Detailed DHC.

By now, it is well known that the COVID-19 pandemic significantly delayed the availability of 2020 Census data.

We’ve now released the apportionment counts and redistricting data — the first two waves of 2020 Census results. But we’re just getting started.

Este blog describe los planes actuales para los productos de datos del Censo del 2020 y cómo proporcionar comentarios

Hemos tenido varios equipos trabajando arduamente en el próximo conjunto de datos del Censo 2020 : los datos de redistritación.

Since releasing the apportionment results in April, we’ve had several teams working hard on the next set of 2020 Census data — the redistricting data.

The world has evolved quite a bit since 1990, the last time we changed the way we protect individual responses in published census statistics.

The U.S. Census Bureau is on track to release the 2019 American Community Survey (ACS) 1-year estimates as scheduled Sept. 17, 2020.

In our last blog, we discussed the feedback we received from the data user community about demonstration data released last fall that were produced using the interim version of the 2020 Disclosure Avoidance System (DAS).

We want to highlight some of the feedback we have received and how we are using it to improve the Disclosure Avoidance System (DAS) that will be used for the 2020 Census.

The Census Bureau’s mission is “to serve as the nation’s leading provider of quality data about its people and economy.” As an agency, we take this responsibility seriously.

Today, the Census Bureau is releasing demonstration data products designed to help our data user community better understand the disclosure avoidance system.

We are working diligently to keep respondent data strictly confidential by implementing differential privacy for our 2020 Census data products.

The 2020 Census marks the first time that any federal government statistical agency applied the rigorous rule of differential privacy.

The Census Bureau takes seriously its legal and professional obligation to safeguard the information it gathers from the public.

Several months ago, Dr. John Abowd, our chief scientist at the Census Bureau, blogged about the need for disclosure avoidance measures and the considerations that went into our decision to implement differential privacy.

In my last blog, I described the Census Bureau’s work to modernize how we protect respondent data in the statistics we publish.

The U.S. Census Bureau’s commitment to data stewardship—protecting respondent privacy and confidentiality at every stage of the data lifecyle—is grounded in law that is straightforward, robust, and strong.

Scientists from the Census Bureau describe the importance of research in survey design, methodology, modeling, record linkage, confidentiality protection, etc.
