Census Bureau Announces Release Date for 2020 Census Data Product on Race and Ethnicity
The U.S. Census Bureau today announced that it plans to release the 2020 Census Detailed Demographic and Housing Characteristics File A (Detailed DHC-A) on Sept. 21. The Detailed DHC-A provides population counts and sex-by-age statistics for approximately 1,500 detailed race and ethnic groups and detailed American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) tribes and villages.
The Detailed DHC-A illustrates the Census Bureau?s commitment to maximizing the utility and relevance of the data it produces while meeting its obligation to protect responses. With the Detailed DHC-A, the amount of data available for the detailed race and ethnic groups and AIAN tribes and villages depends on their population size within a specific geography. This approach allows the Census Bureau to produce as much detail as possible while ensuring strong confidentiality protections.
