Today, the Census Bureau will hold a prerelease webinar to discuss the 2020 Census Demographic Profile and Demographic and Housing Characteristics File (DHC) to be publicly released May 25. These products provide demographic and housing characteristics of local communities, including population data on age, sex, race, Hispanic origin, families and households, and data on homeownership and vacant and occupied housing.

The Demographic Profile provides an overview of topics in the 2020 Census in one, easy-to-reference table for geographies down to the tract level. The DHC provides more detailed tables, many down to the block level. The webinar will provide information on the data available and how to access it. A live Q&A session with Census Bureau subject-matter experts will immediately follow the briefing.

Presenters: Merarys Rios-Vargas, Matthew Spence, and Stacy Gimbel Vidal

Date: Today, May 16
Time: 1:00 p.m. ET
