The 2020 Census data products will be the first ever protected using a modernized privacy protection system – a Disclosure Avoidance System – that allows the Census Bureau to safeguard respondent information while producing relevant, high-quality data.   

To better understand the disclosure avoidance system for the 2020 Census and its impact on data quality and protection, the Census Bureau recently released demonstration data products. This set of data products demonstrate the current computational capabilities of the 2020 Disclosure Avoidance System.

We encourage data users and data scientists to examine these products and provide feedback as the Census Bureau continues to develop and fine-tune the disclosure avoidance system. Please send feedback to dcmd.2010.demonstration.data.products@census.gov.

2020 Census Paid Media Strategy

In January, paid advertising for the 2020 Census will begin running across multiple platforms, including print and digital outlets, television and radio, billboards, and at transit stations, grocery stores and movie theaters throughout the United States and Puerto Rico—reaching 99 percent of all households, particularly in multicultural and hard-to-count populations.

The Census Bureau is conducting a comprehensive integrated communications campaign to maximize self-response and encourage participation in the 2020 Census, which will shape how federal funding is distributed throughout the United States. One cornerstone of the operation is a paid advertising campaign customized to reach a wide range of audiences.
