@uscensusbureau @theNASEM 9. "We're going through a huge sea change," National Advisory Committee member Stuart Michaels of @NORCNews said, adding it's an "incredibly important period" of realizing "some challenges faced by the @uscensusbureau to protect the confidentiality of the data they collect."
@uscensusbureau @theNASEM @NORCNews 10. It's not clear right now whether under the new privacy protections @uscensusbureau is developing, the bureau will release data tables with #2020Census information about American Indian & Alaska Native groups, as well as detailed race and Hispanic origin groups👇
@uscensusbureau @theNASEM @NORCNews 11. "The U.S. government owes our federally recognized tribes a special trust responsibility," said National Advisory Committee member Nicole Borromeo of the Alaska Federation of Natives @NativeFed, adding that data about American Indian & Alaska Native group critical for funding
@uscensusbureau @theNASEM @NORCNews @NativeFed 12. @uscensusbureau's Chief Scientist @john_abowd said "now is the time" for public input on the new privacy protections the bureau is developing for #2020Census data, specifically the Demographic and Housing Characteristics File.
@uscensusbureau @theNASEM @NORCNews @NativeFed @john_abowd 13. @uscensusbureau's Deputy Director @jarmin_ron said that if #2020Census data were released to the public without new privacy protections, it "might not be that harmful, but we're following the law and a pledge to our respondents that we hold these data to be confidential."
14. Census 🤓s, we're about to see a live demo of the online #2020Census form...
16. The online #2020Census form must be completed in one sitting, @uscensusbureau's Kristen Hearns said. If you break off from responding for too long, you must restart for "security reasons," Hearns added. There is a 15-minute limit, which you can reset.
@uscensusbureau 17. This page from one version of the online #2020Census form asks you to log in with an assigned 12-digit "Census ID" that will be sent to individual households. (You can still respond online if you don't have or remember your assigned ID.)👇
@uscensusbureau 18. This page of the #2020Census online form asks you to confirm the home address assigned to the 12-digit "Census ID" you've entered👇
@uscensusbureau 19. This page of the #2020Census online form asks you to confirm whether the address assigned to the "Census ID" is your primary residence as of Census Day (April 1, 2020)👇
@uscensusbureau 20. This page of the #2020Census online form asks you to enter your name and a phone number, which the @uscensusbureau says it would only use to follow up for census purposes. But a phone number is *not required* and you can leave those fields blank, Kristen Hearns said👇
@uscensusbureau 21. The page of the #2020Census online form asks for the number of people living in your home. You must enter a number (1-99), Kristen Hearns said👇
@uscensusbureau 22. This page of the #2020Census online form asks for the name(s) of other people living in your home👇
@uscensusbureau 23. This page of the #2020Census online form was designed to make sure no one is accidentally left out of the count, including young children, roommates and people without a permanent place to live, @uscensusbureau's Kristen Hearns said👇
@uscensusbureau 24. This page of the #2020Census online form asks if the home is owned (with/without a mortgage or loan), rented or occupied without payment of rent👇
@uscensusbureau 25. This page of #2020Census online form asks who of people named owns the home. This person becomes the reference person to determine the relationships between people living in a home. You can select more than one person as the home owner. First person listed will be reference👇
@uscensusbureau 26. @uscensusbureau's Kristen Hearns called this page of the #2020Census online form a "dashboard" that guides you through the sets of questions for each person living in a household👇
@uscensusbureau 27. This page of the #2020Census online form asks for your sex. (NB: The #2020Census will not ask about gender identity, and the only options for sex are "male" and "female.")👇
@uscensusbureau 28. This page of the #2020Census online form asks for your date of birth and age. (The @uscensusbureau asks for both to make sure it gets accurate data.)👇
@uscensusbureau 29. This page of the #2020Census online form asks if you are of Hispanic, Latino or Spanish origin. You can select more than one "Yes" box, meaning you can identify yourself, for example, as both "Mexican, Mexican American, Chicano" and "Puerto Rican."👇
@uscensusbureau 30. CORRECTION: The @uscensusbureau is "committed" to producing #2020Census data about American Indian & Alaska Native groups, plus data on detailed race & Hispanic origin groups, with geographic/demographic detail, Chief Scientist @john_abowd tells me.
@uscensusbureau @john_abowd 31. If you do not self-identify as "male" or "female" for your sex on the #2020Census online form, you can leave the question blank. @uscensusbureau's Matt Spence says any missing self-identified information, such as sex, would be imputed by bureau.
@uscensusbureau @john_abowd 32. This page of the #2020Census online form asks for your race (you can select more than one option)👇
@uscensusbureau @john_abowd 33. This page of the #2020Census online form asks for your relationship to the reference person in your household👇
@uscensusbureau @john_abowd 34. This page of the #2020Census online form asks if a person usually lives somewhere else (to avoid miscounting someone)👇
@uscensusbureau @john_abowd 35. This is the last page of the #2020Census online form you'll see before you submit it to the @uscensusbureau👇
@uscensusbureau @john_abowd 36. This is the confirmation page you'll see after you submit a completed #2020Census online form👇
@uscensusbureau @john_abowd 37. If you do not have a street address for your home, this page of the #2020Census online form allows you to identify where you live👇
@uscensusbureau @john_abowd 38. @uscensusbureau plans to survey what the public thinks about its privacy protections for #2020Census data. These are results from 727 responses in a proof-of-concept field test, and they are *NOT* from a nationally representative sample👇
