Hi: I am not sure this is the right place to post this question, but was wondering if the write-in responses to the race question will be published? I am referring to the 2020 revision and addition to the race question. Thanks!

Dear Grigoris,

We expect the detailed race/ethnicity data to be released in [August 2023](https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/decennial/2020/program-management/Detailed%20DHC-A%20Timeline?utm_campaign=20230117msdecs1ccdtars&utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery) as part of the Detailed Demographic and Housing Characteristics (DDHC) - A release. The DDHC is what the Bureau is now calling Summary File 2, and this is the product where we will first see tabulations of the write-in responses.

Yours,  
Dave Van Riper
