The U.S. Census Bureau today released new data from phase 4.0 of the experimental Household Pulse Survey (HPS). The HPS is an effort by the Census Bureau and other federal statistical agencies to measure how emergent issues are impacting U.S. households from a social and economic perspective.
Topics for phase 4.0 include employment status, spending, food security, housing, health, mental health, natural disasters, inflation and spending, vaccine receipt, COVID-19 diagnosis and treatment, shortage of critical products, disability, income, social connection and child care arrangements.
The Census Bureau is set to release data from this phase February 22, March 21 and April 18. HPS results are available on our website via the Household Pulse Survey Interactive Tool, detailed tables and a public-use data file.
