lad3 May 25, 2023

The U.S. Census Bureau released the 2020 Census Demographic and Characteristics File (DHC). These products provide the next round of data available from the 2020 Census, adding more detail to the population counts and basic demographic and housing statistics previously released.

This release includes population counts (total, by race and Hispanic ethnicity, age, and sex) as well as housing counts. These data are available through the U.S. Census Bureau’s data dissemination platform data.census.gov.

PA Census 2020 Data Portal

Today, in conjunction with the release of the 2020 DHC data, the PA State Data Center launched the Census 2020 Data Portal. The portal serves as a tool to host data localized to Pennsylvania and also provides guidance, overviews, and interactive reports/visualizations to help users make sense of the Census 2020 data.

View the portal at: https://census2020-pasdc.opendata.arcgis.com/

While you’re there, check out our latest dashboard and report which make DHC data for the state, counties, and municipalities easy to view!

This resource is a living catalog of data releases and supporting documentation and analysis from the U.S. Census Bureau and the PA State Data Center. Existing data, resources, and reports/visualizations, such as those for the Redistricting (P.L. 1994) data, have been added to the portal, and more will come soon!
