The S-DHC tables reflect especially complex relationships between the characteristics about households and the people living in them. These complex characteristics supplement the data about households and people available in the DHC product. We often refer to these tables as “complex person-household join tables” or “join tables.”  Some tables are repeated by race and ethnicity.

• Subjects: Data that combine characteristics about households and the people living in them, including the total population in households, average household size by age and tenure, average family size, household and family type for people under 18 years old, and total population in households by tenure. 

• Access: data.census.gov.

• 2020 geographies: Nation, state.

• Planned release date: September 2024. 

These Privacy-Protected Microdata Files (PPMF) will come from the production run of the DHC, which incorporates all data included in the 2020 Census Redistricting Data (P.L. 94-171) Summary File. The PPMF will consist of separate files for people and housing units. The PPMF provide the complete set of privacy-protected records. The precursor to the PPMF – the 2010 Census Public Use Microdata Sample – provided a 10 percent sample of the records.
