Workshop on 2020 Census Demographic and Housing Data & Its Possibilities and Limitations
Posted: 5/20/2022 (Local Events)
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering & Medicine are hosting a 2-day workshop for the U.S. Census Bureau to discuss the suite of data products the Census Bureau will generate from the 2020 Census. The workshop will feature presentations by users of decennial census data products to help the Census Bureau better understand the uses of the data products and the importance of these uses. An important consideration of the workshop will be the overall level of random noise that is injected into the results, which is being done to preserve the confidentiality of responses, as well as the allocation of that noise across data products. The discussion will be focused to help inform the Census Bureau’s decisions on the final specification of 2020 data products. A proceedings of the presentations and discussions at the workshop will be prepared by a designated staff rapporteur in accordance with institutional guidelines. You can register here.
