MAY 28, 2021 — Today the U.S. Census Bureau released additional operational quality metrics on the 2020 Census. These metrics provide further insight into how housing units were enumerated and include information on occupied and vacant housing units and the size of occupied units.

The metrics are available in a downloadable table and interactive dashboard.

Data are provided for the nation, all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. Comparable metrics from the 2010 Census are also available in the downloadable table and interactive dashboard.

The Census Bureau also released the 2020 Census Operational Quality Metrics: Release 2 blog, which provides highlights from today’s metrics.

In April, the Census Bureau released an initial set of operational quality metrics, which showed how people responded to the 2020 Census, as well as how the Census Bureau accounted for addresses that did not respond to the census.

The Census Bureau is continuing to evaluate the 2020 Census and will release additional quality metrics and assessments in the months and years to come. The Census Bureau is using these assessments to prepare and innovate for the 2030 Census.
