Local leaders worry inaccurate census figures caused by Covid could cost their jurisdictions their share of the $1.5 trillion the federal government distributes annually based on census numbers.
undercountedThe time for communities with a beef about how they were counted in the 2020 census has arrived.
Unprecedented hurdles in 2020 may heighten the need for tweaks this time around. Many leaders worry that inaccurate figures could cost their jurisdictions their share of the $1.5 trillion the federal government distributes annually based on census numbers. At this point, it's hard to say how many governments will appeal through the program, which has been around since 1990. As of this week, the Census Bureau hadn't made public any applications. But states, cities, counties and tribal nations have through June 2023 to submit them.
The lack of optimism may be because the scope of challenges is narrow — for mistakes made in recording boundaries or housing that was skipped over during data processing. In years past, only a few were successful. Revisions to population and housing totals were made to about 1% of the nation's 39,000 governments after the 2010 census.
Some demographers and local government officials say the program should allow for challenges for other problems, including mistakes by census takers or managers. Some say they need more latitude to use administrative records to show errors in the head count. Local governments will soon have another way to change the numbers. Starting next year, they can hire the Census Bureau to conduct a “special census” in a re-do of the 2020 count, with the locals footing the bill. They can also challenge population estimates that use the census figures as a base upon which births, deaths and migration are added annually.
