The U.S. Census Bureau today released the 2023 Planning Database (PDB), which includes new 2020 Census operational data on response rates, return rates and in-processing counts.
The 2023 PDB contains a selection of housing, demographic, socioeconomic and operational data for block groups and tracts from the 2020 Census Redistricting Data (Public Law 94-171) Summary File, 2020 Census Demographic and Housing Characteristics File and 2017–2021 American Community Survey, 5-year estimates. The PDB was developed to aid survey and census planning but has a variety of uses.
This is the first PDB release to include operational data from the 2020 Census.

2020 Census Operational Statistics on the Planning Database and Related Disclosure Avoidance Strategies
The U.S. Census Bureau recently released the 2023 Planning Database (PDB), the first PDB to include operational statistics from the 2020 Census, including metrics on online self-response.
The PDB was originally developed in the 1990s as an aid for survey and census planning. It includes housing, demographic and socioeconomic statistics from the decennial census and the American Community Survey (ACS) at the census tract and block group levels.
Its compact design, fine geographic granularity and wide number of frequently used characteristics make the PDB an ideal data product for a broad range of data users, such as academics, policymakers and local community leaders.
