Director's Blog: Valuable New Datasets on Race and Ethnicity From the U.S. Census Bureau [ [link removed] ]

MAY 22, 2023 ? During my tenure as director of the U.S. Census Bureau, I have met with hundreds of users of Census Bureau data across America including partners, state, local and tribal government officials, community groups and businesses. I appreciate their willingness to engage in a two-way flow of ideas, suggestions and concerns ? and listened carefully to what they said. A key message that emerged was the need for more relevant data that better captures their local experience and reflects the rich diversity of their communities and neighbors.

One clear takeaway was the expressed value of disaggregated data, especially by race and ethnicity. To better understand the increasing complexities of our communities, we need data that better reflect our nation?s demographic characteristics (such as age, sex, relationship and racial and ethnic groups) and geographic levels. Combining these data with information about housing, voting, language, employment and education can create great potential for understanding economic development possibilities, addressing community needs and mitigating inequities. The data can also be used to help governments and communities enforce antidiscrimination laws, regulations and policies

It is for these reasons I?m pleased to tell you about a selection of our upcoming data releases. Some are counts from the 2020 Census, some are estimates of population totals between decades and others flow from the American Community Survey (ACS). All include important data on race and ethnicity in America.
