Abstract
The Census Bureau will conduct a tribal consultation on the next set of 2020 Census Data Products on March 24, 2022, via national webinar, and review the 2010 Demonstration Data Product--Demographic and Housing Characteristics File (DHC). The tribal consultation meeting reflects the Census Bureau's continuous commitment to strengthen nation-to-nation relationships with federally recognized tribes. The Census Bureau's procedures for outreach, notice, and consultation ensure involvement of tribes, to the extent practicable and permitted by law, before making decisions or implementing policies, rules, or programs that affect federally recognized tribal governments. These meetings are open to citizens of federally and state recognized tribes by invitation. In that regard, the Census Bureau is seeking comments on the 2010 Demonstration Data--DHC, and asking tribal governments to identify the problematic table, level of geography, and a description of the use case, along with the likely implications should the data be released as-is. Tribes will have four weeks after consultation to analyze the 2010 Demonstration Data Product--DHC.

SUMMARY: The Census Bureau will conduct a tribal consultation on the
next set of 2020 Census Data Products on March 24, 2022, via national
webinar, and review the 2010 Demonstration Data Product--Demographic
and Housing Characteristics File (DHC). The tribal consultation meeting
reflects the Census Bureau's continuous commitment to strengthen
nation-to-nation relationships with federally recognized tribes. The
Census Bureau's procedures for outreach, notice, and consultation
ensure involvement of tribes, to the extent practicable and permitted
by law, before making decisions or implementing policies, rules, or
programs that affect federally recognized tribal governments. These
meetings are open to citizens of federally and state recognized tribes
by invitation. In that regard, the Census Bureau is seeking comments on
the 2010 Demonstration Data--DHC, and asking tribal governments to
identify the problematic table, level of geography, and a description
of the use case, along with the likely implications should the data be
released as-is. Tribes will have four weeks after consultation to
analyze the 2010 Demonstration Data Product--DHC.
DATES: The Census Bureau will conduct the tribal consultation webinar
on Thursday, March 24, 2022, from 3:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. EDT. Any
questions or topics to be considered in the tribal consultation
meetings must be received in writing via email by Tuesday, March 22,
2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Census Bureau is planning one national
webinar on March 24, 2022, with federally and state recognized tribes,
which will provide a forum for tribes to review the 2010 Demonstration
Data Product--Demographic and Housing Characteristics File (DHC). This
demonstration data product represents the most recent development
version of the 2020 Census Disclosure Avoidance System (DAS) applied to
published 2010 Census Data. The 2010 Demonstration Data Product--DHC
will provide demographic and housing characteristics, including age,
sex, race, Hispanic or Latino origin, relationship to householder,
household type, couple type, housing tenure and vacancy. Some subjects
are repeated by major OMB race/ethnicity groups for the household and
group quarters population. Specifically, based on your analysis, we
would like to know which data would be deemed unusable for your use
cases. It will be helpful if you can identify the problematic table,
level of geography, and a description of the use case, along with the
likely implications should the data be released as-is.
In accordance with Executive Order 13175, Consultation and
Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments, issued November 6, 2000,
the Census Bureau has adhered to its tribal consultation policy by
seeking the input of tribal governments in the planning and
implementation of the 2020 Census with the goal of ensuring the most
accurate counts and data for the American Indian and Alaska Native
population. In that regard, the Census Bureau is seeking comments on
the 2010 Demonstration Data Product--DHC and is reviewing feedback
received on the Detailed DHC tables.
Demographic and Housing Characteristics File (DHC)
The DHC will include some of the demographic and housing tables
previously included in the 2010 Census Summary File 1 (SF1).
<bullet> Subjects: Age, sex, race, Hispanic or Latino origin,
household type, family type, relationship to householder, group
quarters population, housing occupancy, and housing tenure. Some
subjects are repeated for major OMB race/ethnicity groups.
<bullet> Access: <a href="http://data.census.gov">data.census.gov</a>.
<bullet> Lowest level of geography: To be determined.
<bullet> Production Date: Tentatively 2022.
Detailed Demographic and Housing Characteristics (Detailed DHC)
The Detailed DHC will provide population counts, as well as
demographic and housing statistics for detailed racial and ethnic
groups, and American Indian and Alaska Native tribes and villages.
These types of statistics were previously included in the 2010 Census
Summary File 2 (SF2) and the 2010 American Indian and Alaska Native
Summary File (AIANSF). In addition, the Detailed DHC will include a few
tables from the 2010 Summary File 1 (SF1) that are not included in the
DHC.
<bullet> Subjects: Detailed racial and ethnic groups, American
Indian and Alaska Native tribes and villages, and complex household
composition and characteristics tables (e.g., population in occupied
housing units) not included in DHC.
<bullet> Access: <a href="http://data.census.gov">data.census.gov</a>.
<bullet> Lowest level of geography: To be determined.
<bullet> Date: To be determined.
Information about the content of these data products was released
on September 16, 2021. Tribes will have four weeks after consultation
to analyze the 2010 Demonstration Data Product--DHC.
