FW: Call for Input - 2020 Census Data Products: Workshop on the Demographic and Housing Characteristics Files

by Weinberger, Penelope

From: NASEM Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education <NASEM_DBASSE(a)nas.edu> Sent: Thursday, May 12, 2022 10:44 AM To: Weinberger, Penelope <pweinberger(a)aashto.org> Subject: Call for Input - 2020 Census Data Products: Workshop on the Demographic and Housing Characteristics Files View this email in your browser<https://mailchi.mp/nas/input-2020-census-products-1273968?e=b46b626957> [National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine] Committee on National Statistics CALL FOR INPUT 2020 Census Data Products: Workshop on the Demographic and Housing Characteristics Files [https://mcusercontent.com/86e1b30d7b026cdd15adc841f/images/ba771429-8685-09…] June 21–23, 2022 Virtual and In-Person in Washington, DC The planning committee for this second Committee on National Statistics (CNSTAT) Workshop on 2020 Census Data Products is pleased to issue this public call for input for our June 21-23 workshop. Our intent is to perform a broad sweep of users and use cases of the detailed data planned for release in the Census Bureau’s Demographic and Housing Characteristics (DHC) files, the successor to the Summary File of previous censuses. The Census Bureau released Demonstration DHC data that apply 2020 Census disclosure avoidance methodology to 2010 Census data, and requested public feedback by May 16. We want and need to hear from prospective users of the 2020 DHC files — regardless of whether you have already provided feedback to the Census Bureau on the Demonstration data. We recognize that time until the June 21–23 workshop is extremely short and regret any inconvenience, but this is a critical time for finalizing schema for census data. We want to hear about the need for highly detailed census tabulations at fine levels of geographic and demographic detail and the potential impacts of the new disclosure avoidance methodology on the fitness-for-use of the data. Use cases of DHC data that are of interest include but are not limited to: * Applications that make use of DHC information on housing units as well as on persons; * Interaction with federal surveys, and the administration of federal, state, local, and tribal programs; * Transportation, education, and other regional and local planning activities; * Demographic analyses such as age (single year of age, age categories (e.g., 20-24), race and ethnicity; * Small populations, including the group quarters/non-household population; and * Traditionally hard-to-reach communities, such as rural populations and households with young children. What we need at this point are brief responses, signals of interest — indications of whether you plan to scrutinize the Demonstration products and whether you have a case study or an application of DHC-type data that you think would be good to showcase at the workshop. Self-nominations are very welcome, as are suggestions of use cases that you think need to be heard. Submitting a comment is not a guarantee of inclusion in the workshop agenda — we may be back in touch with you about presenting/discussing at the workshop, either in-person or virtually. But we are seeking to assess the terrain of possible presentations through this call. To answer this Call for Input, please email Katrina Stone (kstone(a)nas.edu<mailto:kstone@nas.edu?subject=2020%20Census%20Data%20Products%3A%20Workshop%20on%20the%20Demographic%20and%20Housing%20Characteristics%20Files>). Brief replies by Wednesday, May 18, or earlier would be most helpful. In addition to briefly describing your DHC data use case, please include your name and affiliation; it would also be very useful to mention whether you provided direct feedback to the Census Bureau, and whether you anticipate that your analysis of the Demonstration data will be complete and presentable at or before the June 21–23, workshop.

Small Area Data (SAD) and the 2020 census

by Ed Christopher

Its been a busy time for those mining their 2020 census data and seeing the affects of differential privacy (DP). Will DP go down in history as a policy boondoggle and fade away or will it be a pivotal turning point in the opening up of high quality public data?

2017-2021 CTPP Disclosure Concerns

by Reschovsky, Clara (OST)

Dear CTPP Listserv members, In June 2021 the CTPP Oversight Board submitted a request to the Census Bureau for the next CTPP package based on 2017-2021 American Community Survey (ACS) survey data. Census Bureau staff, including the Disclosure Review Board (DRB), ACS staff, and Journey-to-Work subject matter experts responded in January 2022 with a memo outlining disclosure concerns and delineating proposed rules for this CTPP special tabulation. The impact of these rules will affect the CTPP package and the Table Subcommittee of the AASHTO Oversight Board is working hard to try and preserve a quality product. The Census Bureau's concerns, and proposed rules include: 1. Reduce the overall size of the package 2. Standardization of Universes, Variables, and Categories wherever possible to match standard Census ACS products 3. Perturbation techniques must be employed 4. Any flow must be subject to an unweighted minimum of 3 persons. This means 3 people had to respond to the ACS that they live in one geography and work in the other. 5. Non-residence geographies must have 50 unweighted cases to avoid suppression. This means that part 2 (workplace) data at small geography will be in jeopardy of being suppressed 6. Mean and Aggregate tables must have a minimum of 3 to be tabulated As a result of the memo and its implications, the Table Subcommittee is developing a response to the Census Bureau to determine a path forward. We have been working with industry experts on that response. To date, our strategy involves: 1. Eliminating block groups in parts 2 and 3 and much of part 1. (A small list of part 1 tables at the block group level is TBD) 2. Universes, variables, and categories/cohorts will be standardized to the extent possible 3. Developing a sound justification for keeping CTPP-specific universes, variables, or categories 4. Expecting perturbation decisions to be data driven and originate at the CB 5. Documenting the loss of data that occurs when the rule of 3 for flows is implemented 6. Mean and Aggregate tables with less than 3 are not very meaningful and are a disclosure risk Where we have significant issues are the 50 unweighted cases at the workplace that renders much of the package useless for parts 2 and 3. We are exploring options such as not having the requirement for a small set of tables or employing either perturbation or synthesizing techniques to supplement what the DRB will approve. The work is ongoing to respond to the Census Bureau. If you have concerns about what is going, please reach out to Arash, Penelope or me. Clara, Arash, and Penelope
