This presentation will present the basics of the Disclosure Avoidance System including applying differential privacy and its impacts on data quality, what the data user community needs to know, and how to be prepared. The session will focus on 2020 data products with a special emphasis on the redistricting dataset, the release schedule, and how to access the new figures.
