Summary
The 2020 Census used two separate questions (one for Hispanic or Latino origin and one for race) to collect the races and ethnicities of the U.S. population, and the U.S. Census Bureau has made improvements to the design of the two separate questions and updated their data processing and coding procedures. These improvements and updates enabled a more thorough and accurate depiction of how people self-identify, yielding a more accurate portrait of how people report their Hispanic origin and race within the context of a two-question format. The U.S. Census Bureau is confident that the changes we are seeing from 2010 to 2020 in the diversity measures likely reflect actual demographic changes in the population over the past 10 years as well as improvements to the question designs, data processing and coding procedures.
