SUMMARY: Since 1790, a census of the

Census (Census Bureau) will 

disseminate several data products, such 

as including summary and detailed data 

tables, national and state demographic 

profiles, and topical briefs. The Census 

Bureau anticipates publishing the plans 

for 2020 Census data products in a 

future notice and seeks information on 

how products for prior decennial 

censuses were used to help determine 

which products to disseminate for the 

2020 Census. An upcoming live 

question-and-answer webinar will 

provide an opportunity to ask any 

procedural questions about how to 

respond to this Notice. 

DATES: Comments on this notice must be

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Census Bureau is conducting a 

comprehensive review of the decennial 

census data products in preparation for 

the 2020 Census. It seeks feedback via 

this Federal Register notice to 

understand how the public uses 

decennial census data products. Given 

the need for improved confidentiality 

protection, we may reduce the amount 

of detailed data that we release to the 

public. Public feedback is essential for 

a complete review of the decennial 

census data products will assist the 

Census Bureau in prioritizing products 

for the 2020 Census. The Census Bureau 

is not seeking feedback on 

apportionment counts and redistricting 

data products, which are 

constitutionally mandated. 

The Census Bureau invites the public 

to participate in a live question-andanswer webinar on July 31, 2018 at 2:00 

p.m. Eastern Daylight Time, to learn 

more about the feedback process. The 

webinar will be recorded and made 

available later at https://

www.census.gov/. Please note that the 

webinar is intended only to answer 

questions about the feedback process. 

All comments must be submitted 

though either electronic mail, postal 

mail, or the Federal e-Rulemaking portal 

as outlined above. 

The Census Bureau released a suite of 

data products following the 2010 

Census, including summary and 

detailed data tables, national and state 

demographic profiles, and topical briefs. 

See https://www.census.gov/population/ 

www/cen2010/glance/ for a complete 

listing of 2020 Census data products and 

table shells, all of which also are 

available on the American FactFinder 

(AFF) website, http://

factfinder.census.gov. In addition to 

general comments, the Census Bureau 

seeks feedback on the following data 

products: 

Summary File 1 includes detailed 

tables on age, sex, households, families, 

relationship to householder, housing 

units, detailed race and Hispanic or 

Latino origin groups, and group 

quarters. Some tables are repeated for 

nine race and Hispanic or Latino origin 

groups. 

Summary File 2 includes detailed 

tables on age, sex, households, families, 

relationship to householder, housing 

units, and group quarters. Most tables 

are shown down to the census tract 

level. Tables are repeated by 75 major 

race groups, 114 American Indian and 

Alaska Native (AIAN) groups, 47 Asian 

groups, 43 Native Hawaiian and Other 

Pacific Islander groups, and 51 Hispanic 

or Latino origin groups. 

The American Indian and Alaska 

Native Summary File is a national-level 

file showing the same content as 

Summary File 2. Tables are repeated for 

the total population, the total AIAN 

population, and for numerous AIAN 

tribes. Data are shown down to the tract 

level. 

The Demographic Profile shows data 

for age, sex, race, Hispanic or Latino 

origin, household relationship, 

household type, group quarters 

population, housing occupancy, and 

housing tenure. The Demographic 

Profile was released as individual 

profiles for each of the 50 states, the 

District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico 

down to the place/functioning minor 

civil divisions, as well as for the U.S., 

regions, divisions, and other areas that 

cross state boundaries. 

The Summary Population and 

Housing Characteristics Report Series 

contains tables on age, sex, race, 

Hispanic or Latino origin, households, 

families, housing tenure and occupancy, 

population density, and area 

measurements. The lowest level of 

geography is the place level. There is a 

report produced for each state, the 

District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and a 

U.S. summary. 

The Population and Housing Unit 

Counts Report Series provides tables 

containing population and housing 

counts from the 2010 Census and 

selected historical censuses. Some 

tables also include area measurements 

and density. The lowest level of 

geography is the place level. There is a 

report produced for each state, the 

District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and a 

U.S. summary. Maps are included at the 

end of each report, and the User Notes 

section in each state report documents 

geographic changes over the past 

decade. 

The Census Population and Housing 

Tables cover a wide variety of topics, 

such as race, Hispanic or Latino origin, 

group quarters, and other data topics 

obtained from the 2010 Census. 

Census Briefs cover a variety of topics, 

such as race, Hispanic or Latino origin, 

and age and include analysis of topics 

using graphs and tables. 

The Census Bureau is especially 

interested in receiving responses to the 

following questions:
