The U.S. Census Bureau will hold a virtual news conference to announce the release of the 2020 Demographic Analysis population estimates, which include national-level estimates of the population by age, sex, and select race and Hispanic origin groups as of April 1, 2020. Instead of collecting responses to a questionnaire like the 2020 Census, Demographic Analysis uses birth records, death records, data on international migration, and Medicare enrollment records to estimate the size of the U.S. population. By releasing these estimates ahead of the first 2020 Census results, Demographic Analysis offers an independent measure of the population for comparison with the official census counts once available. The Census Bureau will post the data tables and media products in the 2020 Demographic Analysis electronic press kit shortly after the news conference begins.

– Consolidated Credit’s latest survey of 1,135 people finds that 30 percent of respondents say they will use credit cards to pay for holiday gifts and celebrations. This can be a good thing if consumers stick to their budgets, but with so many people shopping online and using credit cards for purchases, they could overspend and slip into credit card debt,” says April Lewis-Parks, Director of Education and Corporate Communications. * 40 percent of respondents say that they will spend up to $500 on holiday expenses * 16 percent plan to spend up to $1,000 on holiday expenses * 6 and a half percent plan to spend a maximum of $2,000 on holiday expenses For example, if a person charges a $1,000 on a credit card that has an 18 percent interest rate, and they pay only the monthly minimum amount due, it would take over 7 years to pay it off the debt and they would have repaid the creditor almost double.

Today’s kindergartners offer a glimpse of tomorrow’s demographics. The number of states where at least one-in-five public school kindergartners are Latino has more than doubled since 2000, according to a new Pew Research Center analysis of Census Bureau data. In 18 states and the District of Columbia, Latino children accounted for at least 20% of public school kindergarten students in 2017 (the most recent year available), up from eight states in 2000. This reflects the fact that Hispanic population growth has slowed over the past decade or so due to a declining number of births and a decrease in immigration, particularly from Mexico.
