Census 2020 Data Release:
- On April 26, 2021: The US Census Bureau delivered the apportionment counts to the President. The apportionment count includes the total population living in each state plus military and federal personnel and their families living abroad (allocated to states based upon recorded home state). The results of the apportionment count indicate that the North Carolina population is 10,453,948 (an increase of 888,167 from the 2010 Census). This will result in one additional seat in the U. S. House of Representatives for the State, which will now have 14 seats.
- September 30, 2021: Release of the redistricting data (Public Law 94-171) from the 2020 Census. This data file will include total and voting age population, population by race and Hispanic origin, and housing unit counts for all geographies down to the census block. More detailed demographic data files will be released after this date.
- Summary File 1: Summary File 1 (SF 1) contains the data compiled from the questions asked of all people and about every housing unit. Population items include sex, age, race, Hispanic or Latino origin, household relationship, household type, household size, family type, family size, and group quarters. Housing items include occupancy status, vacancy status, and tenure (whether a housing unit is owner-occupied or renter-occupied). There are 177 population tables (identified with a ‘‘P’’) and 58 housing tables (identified with an ‘‘H’’) shown down to the block level; 82 population tables (identified with a ‘‘PCT’’) and 4 housing tables (identified with an “HCT”) shown down to the census tract level; and 10 population tables (identified with a “PCO”) shown down to the county level, for a total of 331 tables. The SF 1 Urban/Rural Update added 2 PCT tables, increasing the total number to 333 tables. There are 14 population tables and 4 housing tables shown down to the block level and 5 population tables shown down to the census tract level that are repeated by the major race and Hispanic or Latino groups.
- State Demographer: The North Carolina State Demographer population estimate models were adjusted and re-weighted for each municipality and county based upon these results of the 2020 Census. The State Demographer then produced a first set of standard and certified population estimates using the 2020 Census counts as a base. Population estimates were produced for cities and counties for July 1, 2020 (three months after the April 1, 2020 Census count).

Census American Community Survey (released annually)
The Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS) is an ongoing survey that provides data on an annual basis -- giving communities current estimates they need to plan for various investments and services. Information from the survey provides data that help determine how trillions of dollars in federal and state funds are distributed each year.
Only persons who receive a letter from the Census Bureau are invited to respond. The survey will ask questions pertaining to:
- age
- gender
- race
- family relationships
- income and benefits
- health insurance
- education
- veteran status
- disabilities
- where people work and how they get to work
- where people live and how much they pay for certain living essentials
This detail is combined into statistical estimates that are used to help communities make decisions about a wide variety of things, such as school lunch programs and new hospitals. To learn more about the American Community Survey, click here.
