JAN. 24, 2024 — The U.S. Census Bureau today announced it has completed two operations that allowed governmental units to seek review of their 2020 Census counts. The Census Bureau officially notified all participants of the Count Question Resolution (CQR) and 2020 Post-Census Group Quarters Review (PCGQR) operations of review results by Jan. 3.
The CQR operation gave tribal, state and local governments the opportunity to ask the Census Bureau to review their boundaries or housing counts to identify errors that may have occurred while processing their 2020 Census counts. PCGQR offered the governments a new, one-time opportunity to request the Census Bureau review group quarters population counts as of Census Day or April 1, 2020, that they believed were not counted correctly. The results are then incorporated into the Census Bureau’s annual population estimates. Note that not all submitted requests were approved in full, and the resulting changes may be smaller than requested.
