2020 Census Statistics Highlight Local Population Changes and Nation’s Racial and Ethnic Diversity
 The U.S. Census Bureau today released additional 2020 Census results showing an increase in the population of U.S. metro areas compared to a decade ago. In addition, these once-a-decade results showed the nation’s diversity in how people identify their race and ethnicity.
“We are excited to reach this milestone of delivering the first detailed statistics from the 2020 Census,” said acting Census Bureau Director Ron Jarmin. “We appreciate the public’s patience as Census Bureau staff worked diligently to process these data and ensure it meets our quality standards."
These statistics, which come from the 2020 Census Redistricting Data (Public Law 94-171) Summary File, provide the first look at populations for small areas and include information on Hispanic origin, race, age 18 and over, housing occupancy and group quarters. They represent where people were living as of April 1, 2020, and are available for the nation, states and communities down to the block level.
 The Stories Behind the Numbers
Today the Census Bureau also released data visualizations, America Counts stories, and videos to help illustrate and explain the new 2020 Census data.
A variety of America Counts stories are now available on population change and distribution, group quarters, the adult population, housing changes, housing vacancy, race and ethnicity and the diversity index.
Videos are also available that explain how to access the data and what they show about the changing nation. Advanced users can access the data on our FTP site.
