MAY 31, 2023 — Today, the U.S. Census Bureau announced two of the remaining 2020 Census data products are planned for release in September 2024:
Additionally, the Census Bureau announced that the S-DHC will be available for fewer geographies than originally proposed. The S-DHC tables will now be available at the national and state levels only. Previously, the Census Bureau proposed including additional geographies depending on the table: county, census tract, block group, American Indian/Alaska Native/Native Hawaiian areas, and places. Our existing disclosure avoidance system could not ensure confidentiality protections for people within substate geographies for these tables while also meeting the Census Bureau's data quality standards. These changes are reflected in the 2020 Census Data Product Crosswalk.
The crosswalk also provides the final Detailed DHC-A table shells and updated table shells for the Detailed DHC-B. The table shells reflect that the amount of data available for the detailed racial and ethnic groups and AIAN tribes and villages depends on their population size for a specific geography, with larger populations receiving more information.
The Census Bureau is still developing a schedule for the 2020 Census Privacy-Protected Microdata Files and will keep the public informed. For schedule information on other 2020 Census data products, please visit the About 2020 Census Data Products webpage.
