New Data Released From Household Trends and Outlook Pulse Survey

MARCH 26, 2026 - The U.S. Census Bureau today released new data on food and nutrition, health and well-being, transportation, employment, education and other topics from the Household Trends and Outlook Pulse Survey (HTOPS).

These data, collected from a sample of about 30,000 households in April 2025, provide insights for the nation as well as smaller geographic areas defined by the Census Bureau.

Data users can access the HTOPS dataset as a public-use file to create customized tables.

Additional HTOPS data collected later in 2025 will be released in the coming months.

HTOPS is an experimental data product collected every other month on core and rotating topics to gauge socioeconomic conditions facing U.S. households. It delivers data federal agencies can use to assess conditions, monitor trends, and inform a range of operational and policy needs.
