The final data release from the 2020 Census, the Supplemental Demographic and Housing Characteristics File (S-DHC) was published by the Census Bureau on September 16, 2024.

- Average household size by age.
- Household type (e.g. family or nonfamily households for the population in households).
- Population under the age of 18 years, by relationship and household type.
