2020 Census Data Products: Workshop on the Demographic and Housing Characteristics Files

Completed

The U.S. Census Bureau adopted a new Disclosure Avoidance System (DAS) for the 2020 Census, based on the theory of differential privacy, and applied it to the production of P.L. 94-171 data for redistricting. This workshop will provide opportunities for data users who rely on more detailed sociodemographic data to assess and understand the suitability of the DHC for a wide variety of use cases, including state and local planning, resource allocation, and monitoring demographic-related patterns of the U.S. population. Attention will be given to data equity and strategies to improve communication about these data products and their uses.
