*Census Bureau Releases 2020 Census Operational Quality Metrics for Counties and Tracts*

*OCT. 6, 2022*???Today, the U.S. Census Bureau released 2020 Census operational quality metrics [ [link removed] ] for individual counties and tracts. The metrics show how the census collected data within the counties and tracts and can provide insight on the quality of the 2020 Census.

The metrics available for both individual counties and tracts provide the:


* Percentage of addresses that self-responded.
* Percentage of addresses that responded online.
* Percentage of self-responses that were submitted online.
* Percentage of occupied housing units in the Nonresponse Followup (NRFU) operation that were resolved through a census taker interviewing a member of the household.
* Percentage of occupied housing units in NRFU that were resolved through a census taker interviewing a proxy (such as a neighbor or landlord).
* Percentage of occupied housing units in NRFU that were resolved through administrative records.

Two additional county-level metrics are available:


* Percentage of addresses within NRFU that provided only a population count to the census taker.
* The percentage of addresses that were unresolved and went to count imputation. (More information about that process is available in the blog, How We Complete the Census When Households or Group Quarters Don?t Respond [ [link removed] ].)
