New Blog: Understanding the Detailed Demographic and Housing Characteristics File B [ [link removed] ]

"Written By: Stacy Vidal, editorial content advisor, Public Information Office, and Alexandra Krause, survey statistician, Population Division."

On August 1, the U.S. Census Bureau will release the 2020 Census Detailed Demographic and Housing Characteristics File B (Detailed DHC-B), adding to what we know about our nation’s diverse population. Last year, through the Detailed DHC-A, we learned about the population size and the number of males and females in certain age categories for about 1,500 detailed race and ethnicity groups and American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) tribes and villages.

Now, we will learn more about the household composition of these groups. For example, the Detailed DHC-B will include information on whether people live in family or nonfamily households and whether they own or rent their homes (we call this “tenure”).

Similar to the Detailed DHC-A, the amount of information about these topics will vary depending on the size of the group and the geography. This approach allows the Census Bureau to produce as much detail as possible while ensuring confidentiality protections and that the data meet the Census Bureau’s accuracy standards.
