Exploring Undercount of Young Children in 2020 Census by County
A new analysis of the undercount of young children in the 2020 Census shows variation by county and a relationship between net coverage errors and socioeconomic characteristics like family structure and poverty.
The 2020 Demographic Analysis found that children ages 0 to 4 had a national net coverage error estimate of -5.46% in the 2020 Census ? a larger undercount than any other age group. This means the number of young children counted in the 2020 Census was approximately 1 million lower than the benchmark population estimate.

The new county-level analysis shows undercounts of young children in counties across the country but a substantial number were clustered along the West Coast, in the South, and in the Southwest, particularly in the border regions of Arizona, California, and Texas.
