Differential Privacy for Census Data
The Census Bureau changed its method of privacy protection to Differential Privacy for the first time on the 2020 Census. This may lead to some error in the data. The following resources are available to assist you as you navigate this new change:
- Guidelines from the Maine State Data Center
- Official guidance from the Census Bureau
- Official Disclosure Avoidance Handbook from the Census Bureau
