📊 In Case You Missed It: 2020 Post-Enumeration Survey Results
Last week, the Census Bureau released estimates of net coverage error and components of coverage for Puerto Rico from the 2020 Post-Enumeration Survey (PES), as well as undercount and overcount rates for housing units for the nation, regions, states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. These results provide insight into the quality of the 2020 Census counts.
According to the PES, the 2020 Census overcounted the Puerto Rico population by 5.7% or 174,000 people. This was not statistically different from the 4.5% overcount in the 2010 Census.

The PES estimate of 140.4 million housing units in the nation was not statistically different from the 2020 Census housing count of 140.5 million. In other words, the estimate of net coverage error of 0.04% (or 60,000 housing units) was not statistically different from zero. The estimate of percent net coverage error of housing units in the nation for 2020 was statistically different from the undercount estimated in 2010.
