OVERVIEW
RESOURCE DESCRIPTION
The Household Pulse survey measures the impact of the pandemic on American households. Unlike other national benchmark surveys from the US Census Bureau, the Household Pulse survey has a short-turnaround time. Data is collected and disseminated every other two weeks. Additionally, questions are removed or added depending on the national situation. For instance, in January 2021, the survey began to ask questions regarding COVID-19 vaccination status.
