NOTE: Data in this table are considered experimental and do not meet NCES standards for response rates. The 2020 Household Pulse Survey, an experimental data product, is an Interagency Federal Statistical Rapid Response Survey to Measure Household Experiences during the coronavirus pandemic, conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau in partnership with seven other agencies from the Federal Statistical System: Bureau of Labor Statistics, National Center for Health Statistics, Department of Agriculture Economic Research Service, National Center for Education Statistics, Department of Housing and Urban Development, Social Security Administration, and Bureau of Transportation Statistics. The number of respondents and response rate for the period reported in this table are as follows: 109,051 and 10.3 percent. The final weights are designed to produce estimates for the total persons age 18 and older living within housing units. These weights were created by adjusting the household level sampling base weights by various factors to account for nonresponse, adults per household, and coverage. For more information, see https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/household-pulse-survey/technical-documentation.html. Race categories exclude persons of Hispanic ethnicity. Columns may sum to more than 100 percent because respondents could select multiple categories for changes to postsecondary plans.
