 đź“Š Data Release: Household Pulse Survey

This survey is an effort by the Census Bureau and other federal statistical agencies to measure how emergent issues are impacting U.S. households from a social and economic perspective. Data collection for phase 4.0 began January 9 with data dissemination, including detailed data tables and public-use files on a monthly basis.
đź’» Webinar: My Community Explorer for Puerto Rico
In the Census Bureau's ongoing commitment to provide timely, actionable data for Puerto Rico, My Community Explorer for Puerto Rico was released in December as a companion for My Community Explorer for the mainland. Both interactive map-based dashboards make use of Community Resilience Estimates (CRE).
CRE for the mainland and CRE for Puerto Rico use a set of attributable risk factors to determine if a person is more or less likely to have a poor outcome to a stress or shock such as a natural disaster. One of the key components of the tool is it shows, in real time, natural disasters and overlays the disasters on top of census tracts where you can see the relationship of the disasters to the at risk population where the disasters are happening.
Municipios and census tracts are rated as high risk, medium risk, or low risk of having a poor outcome to a stress or shock.
