In October, a small group of university and city leaders got together to discuss concerns with the Census count. The conversations have continued and have broadened to include other communities experiencing similar concerns. It seems to be increasingly apparent that the 2020 Decennial Census may have had significant errors resulting in undercounts, especially in University Cities and Towns. As you are aware, an undercount of the Decennial Census can have serious long term consequences for local government finances, as many funding sources use the census data to determine their allocations.
Are you concerned that an undercount happened in your community? Are you worried that the CQR process might not be the right mechanism to address these issues? Would you like to share your Census challenges with other Communities and work together to find a solution that fits the problem?
If so, please join other municipal leaders from across the United States for a conversation on Thursday, December 16th at 11am EST. Simply RSVP to
