Census 2020 Demographic Profile & Demographic and Housing Characteristics

[GregJohnson]

With the recent release by the US Census Bureau of new 2020 data, is there a timeline when these demographic and housing characteristics will be incorporated into the Living Atlas? I remember when there was only a few tables (with dozens of fields) released for each Census. The Demographic and Housing Characteristics have over 100 files.

Thanks for asking! The Living Atlas Policy Maps team is actively processing Census Demographics and Housing tables into hosted feature layers for your use. Due to the size, level of detail, and complexity of the DHC, we have organized our census layers based on popular topics into smaller, easier to digest subsets of the whole. By June 14 we will have our first set of DHC layers available for Total Population with a blog detailing the content and our process. We will continue releasing additional Census tables organized into topical layers over time.

Thanks Diana. I thought about emailing you directly, but then the other people with a similar question would not see the response. Looking forward to the first (of many) DHC layers later this month.

Hi Greg, 

Our first 8 DHC layers are up.
