The U.S. Census Bureau says the 2020 count missed a tiny fraction of the U.S. population, an unexpectedly small rate given the unprecedented challenges it faced
FILE - Children play in the yard of a community boxing club Thursday, Aug. 19, 2021, in Somerton, Ariz. The U.S. Census Bureau on Thursday, March 10, 2022, released two reports which measure how well the once-a-decade head count tallied every U.S. resident and whether certain populations were undercounted or overrepresented in the count. Any undercounts in various populations can shortchange the amount of funding and political representation they get over the next decade.
In the 2010 census, by comparison, the Black population had a net undercount of more than 2%, while it was 1.5% for the Hispanic population. There was almost a 4.9% undercount for American Indian and Alaskan Natives living on reservations, and it was 0.08% for Asians. The non-Hispanic white population had a net overcount of 0.8%.
Lycia Maddocks, political director of NDN Collective, a South Dakota-based advocacy group, said COVID-19 made it difficult to count people living on reservations because many tribes closed their borders. Additionally, many residents didn't have internet access and the Census Bureau's efforts to hire tribal members for the count “were slow and came too little," said Maddocks, who is a citizen of the Fort Yuma Quechan Indian Tribe based in Yuma, Arizona.
