Frequently Occurring Last Names in the 2020 Census is the fifth U.S. Census Bureau data product listing the most common last names reported in the decennial census. A 1909 report (Bureau of the Census 1909) provided extensive data on “surnames of the white population” tabulated in the 1790 Census. The modern series of data releases began with the 1990 Census, but the 1990 data tables were based on results from the post-enumeration survey rather than the census itself (U.S. Census Bureau, 1995).
Over the last decade, the nation grew at its slowest rate since the 1930s, a slowdown broadly reflected in local area 2020 Census population counts released today. Less than half of the nation’s 3,143 counties or equivalents gained population from 2010 to 2020, while the populations of around four-fifths of metro areas grew during the time period. In 2020, 86% of the U.S. population lived in metropolitan statistical areas, up from 85% in 2010.
