The U.S. Census Bureau last week released new data from their experimental Household Pulse Survey, a 20-minute online survey conducted between January 9 – February 5, 2024.
The survey measures how emergent issues are impacting U.S. households from a social and economic perspective. In its current iteration (4.0), the survey covers topics such as food security, health, housing, natural disasters, social isolation, inflation and spending.
Approximately 68,000 respondents answered the online questionnaire.
The map shows 6 out of the 13 indicators released from the January to February 2024 survey.
