A trial questionnaire is also testing 'degenderizing' questions about relationships in a household by changing options like 'biological son or daughter' to 'biological child.'
Questions about sexual orientation, gender identity and changes to queries about race and ethnicity are on track to be asked in the most comprehensive survey of American life by 2027, U.S. Census Bureau officials said Thursday.The new or revised questions on the American Community Survey will show up on questionnaires and be asked by survey takers in as early as three years, with the data from those questions available the following year, officials told an advisory committee.
The revised race categories may be implemented sooner, as early as next year for data released in 2026, for the Census Bureau's population estimates which look at annual changes based on births, deaths and migration.Questions in English and Spanish about sexual orientation and gender identity started being tested in August with trial questionnaires sent out to several hundred thousand households. Testing for in-person interviews will start next spring.
