New from the 2020 Census: Data for Nearly 1,500 Detailed Race and Ethnicity Groups, Tribes and Villages [ [link removed] ]

The U.S. Census Bureau today released 2020 Census population counts and sex-by-age statistics for 300 detailed race and ethnic groups, as well as 1,187 detailed American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) tribes and villages. 

These data come from the 2020 Census Detailed Demographic and Housing Characteristics File A (Detailed DHC-A) [ [link removed] ]. Previously, the Census Bureau released 2020 Census data on the Hispanic or Latino population and major race groups such as White, Black or African American, Asian, etc.

Today’s release adds information on detailed groups within those major categories such as German, Lebanese, Jamaican, Chinese, Native Hawaiian and Mexican — and on AIAN tribes and villages like the Navajo Nation. The release includes information about more than 200 detailed race and ethnic groups not tabulated from previous censuses.
