An Overview of Differential Privacy in the 2020 Decennial Census 

To protect respondents’ privacy, for the 2020 Decennial Census the Census Bureau is using a modern disclosure avoidance approach called differential privacy. In brief, differential privacy adds statistical noise—small random additions or subtractions—into the data to reduce the risk that someone could reidentify any person or household. In this post, you will learn how differential privacy is applied to the 2020 Decennial Census data and the Census Bureau’s guidance for 2020 Decennial Census data users. We provide an overview of the summary metrics file released by the Census Bureau and discuss some illustrative examples of the amount of error introduced to certain counts as reported in the summary metrics file.
