2020 Census Detailed Demographic and Housing Characteristics File Released
The U.S. Census Bureau released its third major data product from the 2020 Decennial Census on September 21. This file, the 2020 Census Detailed Demographic and Housing Characteristics File A (Detailed DHC-A), consists of information from the questions on race, ethnicity, sex, and age asked of all people in the 2020 Census. The Detailed DHC-A includes population counts and sex and age statistics for detailed race and ethnic groups and American Indian and Alaska Native tribes and villages. This data is derived from the open-ended responses to the race and ethnicity questions on the 2020 Decennial Census instrument.
Nationally, the data set compiles population totals by sex and age for 2,996 population groups. The population groups include 34 Hispanic origin groups (reflecting 30 detailed origins and 4 regional groups), as well as alone and alone or in any combination iterations for 104 detailed and 3 regional White groups, 62 detailed and 3 regional Black or African American groups, 1,187 detailed and 8 regional American Indian or Alaska Native groups, 47 detailed and 5 regional Asian groups, 35 detailed and 3 regional Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander groups, and 22 detailed and 2 regional Some Other Race groups.
This data file is constructed in a different manner than other 2020 Decennial files and uses a unique approach to confidentiality protection. If you are interested in accessing this data, please contact Adam Bickford at adam.bickford@state.co.us.
