Census Bureau Subjects Planned for the 2020 Census and American Community Survey lntrodtm?ion BACKGROUND Since I790. a national census ofthe U.S. population has been conducted every 10 years. as required by the US. Constitution. Additional information beyond the population count has been collected with each census in response to the challenges facing the nation and a national desire to understand ourselves. in the 20th century. most addresses received a "short" form. while a portion of addresses received a more detailed "long" form. The Census 2000 short form was designed to collect basic demographic and housing information li.e.. age. race. gender. relationship. and tenure) to be used for apportionment and redistricting. The long form sent to approximately 1 in 6 households collected social. housing. and economic information citizenship. educational attainment. disability status. employment. status. income. and housing costs) that Was used to plan and determine funding for a wide array of federal. state. local. and tribal programs. Since 2005. in order to provide communities. businesses, and the public with the detailed long- form information more frequently. these data have been collected (and released annually} through the American Community Survey (A . v_ This innovation enabled the 2010 Census in. ?short- form- only' census. Decouplingt of short and long- -form data allowed th? Bureau to focus decennial census Eonsumllonal 'li?iuirements to; 1.. -. The 2020 Decennial Census Program. comprised of the 2020 Census and the ACS. will provide an official count through a "short-form-only" census, as well as a portrait of communities counted across the nation through data collected by the ACS. This program is the only data-gathering effort that collects information from enough people to produce comparable data for every geographic area recognized by the Census Bureau. The ACS also collects short-form data on its questionnaire. How- ever. AC5 asks for basic demographic and housing infonnation from a sample of households. while the decennial census asks for basic demographic and housing information from all households. U.S. Census Bureau SUBMISSION OP SUBJECTS PLANNED FOR THE 2020 DECENNIAL CENSUS PROGRAM Section I4 of the Census Act requires that the subjects to be included in the next census be submitted to Congress no later than 3 years before the census date. The contents of this handbook describe the subjects that will be asked on the 2020 Census and the ACS. The Census Act also requires that the questions to be included in the next census be submitted to Congress no later than 2 years before the census date. A document that eets that requirement for the 2020 part the 2014 ACS Content Review and asked agencies to review. verify. and update this information. 'hegular reviews of federal requirements ensure that . only required data are collected. as Opposed to data that could be acquired by other means. The descriptions of the subjects on the following pages are designed to give the reader a clear understanding of I) the relationship between questions asked of respondents and the summarized data that are released in published tables. 2) how federal agencies use the resulting data, and 3) the benefits of the data at the community level. Selected statutes and regulations directing these uses are listed on the reverse of each page. Subjects Planned for the 2020 Census and American Community Survey I Operational Questions Some operational questions will appear on the 2020 Census and American Community Survey that will not result in published counts or estimates. These questions are asked to better administer the data collection process and to ensure greater accuracy of the data collected through the other subjects. A person's contact information. including name and phone number, are requested in case someone must be reminded to complete their response or to verify information in a follow-up operation. Contact information is not part of published estimates and is carefully protected. as mandated by federal law. to respect the personal information of respondents. An address is verified or requested to ensure that the data collected from the people in each household are included in the correct place. The US. Census Bureau is required to provide state legislatures with the Small-area census population tabulations necessary for legislative redistricting. For example. a county count will be a summary of the data collected from all ofthe addresses in that county. To ensure that a households data are it; luded was collected. Addresses are not part i tabulations and are carefully protected. reSpondents. Subjects Planned for the 2020 Census and American Community Survey 3 U.S. Censas Bureau 2020 Census questions about the number of people in the home, whether anyone was included who does not usually live or stay there. or whether anyone who does usually live or stay there was forgotten are used to ensure that everyone is counted once, only once. and in the right place. The first U.S. decennial census in 1790 established the concept of "usual residence" as the main principle in determining where pepple were to be counted. The Census Bureau uses residence criteria to determine whom to count and where. especially because the place where a person lives and sleeps most of the time is not necessarily the sane as the person's veting residence fAsking these additional questions no one is missed. people are not 2 locations, and that people are ace. helps ensur counted i sad to better administer the data collection rocess in group living situations. Asking these additional questions helps ensure accurate classification of group quarters which is a part of the Census Bureau's mission to ensure that everyone is counted once, only once. and in the right place.
