Same-Sex Coupls survey

"This year for the first time, the U.S. Census Bureau’s America’s Families and Living Arrangements table package includes estimates of same-sex couples.
The new tables show there are 543,000 same-sex married households and 469,000 same-sex unmarried partner or cohabiting households. That’s a small number compared to the 61.4 million opposite-sex married and eight million opposite-sex unmarried partner households.
In addition, there are 191,000 children living with two same-sex parents.

The annual release of the table package, which comes from the Current Population Survey's Annual Social and Economic Supplement, details the most recent characteristics of families, households and the living arrangements of adults and children in the United States..."

Three New Census Bureau Products Show Domestic Migration at Regional, State, and County Levels

"
"The South experienced a net population gain from movers coming in from other regions of the United States.
Florida received the most movers from other states.
Los Angeles County had the highest number of people moving out, but also had the highest number moving in.
These are just a few of the highlights in three recently released U.S. Census Bureau data products on migration at different geographic levels. Migration or geographic mobility refers to the movement of people from one location of residence to another.
Movers to and from the South make up the largest domestic migration flows at the regional level. Many especially large flows at the state and county levels are in the South or in the West. Some of the largest state- and county-level flows are to or from Florida, California or Arizona.

Net Migration, Flows and Mover Rates by Region

The 2018 Current Population Survey Annual Social and Economic Supplement (CPS ASEC) migration tables provide estimates for net migration, flows and mover rates by region. In 2018, 10.1 percent of people (about 32.4 million) in the United States moved within the past year. Historical tables and historical graphs show some of the CPS ASEC migration data over time.
  • Net Migration. The South continued a pattern of net population gains from domestic migration. The region experienced statistically significant net gains from domestic migration most years since 1981.
In 2018, about 1.2 million people moved to the South from another region, while only about 714,000 moved from the South to another region. This resulted in a net gain of about 512,000 people. If movers from abroad are included, the net gain from migration to the South is about 959,000 people.
  • Flows. There are 12 region-to-region migration flows and the five largest in 2018 were either to the South or out of the South.
The South drew about 412,000 people from the Northeast, 356,000 from the Midwest, and 459,000 from the West. The region lost about 317,000 to the West and 276,000 to the Midwest.
The South to Midwest flow does not differ statistically from the Midwest to South or South to West flows, and the Northeast to South, Midwest to South, West to South, and South to West flows do not differ statistically..."

Voting in America: A Look at the 2016 Presidential Election

"Since 1964, the U.S. Census Bureau has fielded the Voting and Registration Supplement to the Current Population Survey every two years. Today, the Census Bureau released a series of tabulations and data products alongside a public use data file for the November 2016 presidential election.
In addition to the requirement that individuals be at least 18 years old, voters in national elections must also be U.S. citizens. Although the Census Bureau has collected voting and registration data since 1964, the Current Population Survey has gathered citizenship data since 1978. Figure 1 presents voting rates for the citizen voting-age population for each presidential election since 1980. In 2016, 61.4 percent of the citizen voting-age population reported voting, a number not statistically different from the 61.8 percent who reported voting in 2012.."
