Census Bureau to Release Estimates of State and County Undercounts and Overcounts for Young Children in 2020
The U.S. Census Bureau is set to release on April 11 the Demographic Analysis estimates of state and county net coverage error for children ages 0 to 4 in the 2020 Census. This is the first time the Census Bureau is releasing these experimental Demographic Analysis estimates designed to help gauge the accuracy of the 2020 Census count of the nation?s youngest children.
This release follows the March 2022 Demographic Analysis estimates release that showed children ages 0 to 4 were undercounted by 5.4% in 2020 for the nation.
The Demographic Analysis estimates were developed using administrative records, such as birth and death records and estimates of international migration, to produce a count of the population as of April 1, 2020. This estimate is completely independent from the decennial census but can be compared to 2020 Census counts to help evaluate the quality of the census and plan for the 2030 Census.
