Week 21 Household Pulse Survey: December 9 – December 21

January 06, 2021

The tables below show data collected from December 9 through December 21, 2020. Phase 1 of the Household Pulse Survey (HPS) was collected and disseminated on a weekly basis, and ended July 21, 2020. Phase 2 started collection August 19, 2020, ended on October 26, and used a two-week collection and dissemination period. Phase 3 of the survey continues with the same biweekly collection and dissemination approach as Phase 2. Despite going to a two-week collection period, the Household Pulse Survey continues to call these collection periods “weeks” to maintain continuity with Phase 1.

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