People walk on the street, Monday, April 26, 2021 in New York. The once-a-decade head count of the United States shows where the population grew during the past 10 years and where it shrank. New York will lose one seat in Congress as a result of national population shifts, according to census data released Monday.
While it’s too early to reach any conclusions about the accuracy of the data gathered during the once-a-decade head count, these types of responses — a reliance on proxies for answers and just a head count with no basic demographic information — result in poorer quality data compared to other methods.Poor quality data can diminish the political power and resources available to communities across the U.S.
“We will learn more when smaller geography data is released,” said Jan Vink, a demographer at Cornell University. While it’s too early to reach any conclusions about the fairness or accuracy of the 2020 count, the correlation between the high use of proxies and the fact these states had large numbers of households covered by this operation “raises an important red flag that needs to be examined further,” said Steven Romalewski, director of the CUNY Mapping Service.
Regarding the higher head count-only responses in the Mid-Atlantic states, Bentley said, “It is something that we are exploring further.”
