California stereotypes are real — and this extremely detailed data about time use proves it How do Californians use their time? This breakdown shows how many minutes are spent on activities daily.

Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) Data Again Available to New Users _By Miriam King_ After funding for USAID and the Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) was eliminated in February 2025, new researchers could no longer apply online for access to DHS data, and existing DHS users could not gain access to additional countries’ data. This restriction affected would-be users of both the original DHS public use files and the integrated version of DHS data through IPUMS DHS. Fortunately, The DHS Program just announced, “We are now open for new registrations.” According to The DHS Program website, a three-year grant from the Gates Foundation is supporting the dhsprogram.com website and data archive, where researchers apply for access and can download the original public use files. Once a researcher is approved for DHS data access, they can log in to the IPUMS DHS website, create a customized dataset with the samples and harmonized variables they need, and download that file for analysis on their computer. Anyone can use the IPUMS DHS website to learn about the data, including documentation about the consistently coded variables and the availability of variables by sample, to plan a research project; they need to log in only if they would like to create and download a customized data file. The grant funding will also support other useful elements of The DHS Program website: StatCompiler (for summary statistics by sample), the DHS Program API, and the Spatial Data Repository (for maps and shapefiles). We are also excited that new DHS samples from at least ten countries will become available soon, thanks to support from donors and participating countries. Several countries had finished fieldwork for a new survey, but they had not released the data or a final report when USAID funding ended. The supplemental funding will bring the surveys to completion and make their data available to the research community. As more DHS data become available to more researchers, the IPUMS DHS staff are working to integrate key variables from the remaining standard DHS samples. By “going global,” the next IPUMS DHS data release will add samples from Latin America, Eastern Europe, Central and East Asia, and Oceania. The next IPUMS DHS data release will also incorporate data from Phase 8 surveys for 2022 forward for Africa and South Asia. (See map in Figure 1) Figure 1: Countries that are new to IPUMS DHS, have new samples in IPUMS DHS, or have no new samples in IPUMS DHS IPUMS congratulates our colleagues and collaborators at The DHS Program for again opening access to the invaluable Demographic and Health Survey data!

California has the nation’s widest disparity in this educational metric The Bay Area is among the most college-educated parts of the country — especially for engineering degrees. Other parts of California fare less well.

These Bay Area communities are most vulnerable to Trump’s immigration crackdowns Although more than half the Bay Area’s immigrants are already naturalized, more may seek citizenship to avoid risking run-ins with immigration enforcement.

@aaronecarroll.bsky.social and @academyhealth.bsky.social would #IPUMS or #NCHS take on the data repository? @asa-scipol.bsky.social, we must #defendresearch. #MEPS, #HCUP, #NIPS are critical data sources for #HPSS and #HSPR.
