FROM THE ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR FOR

DECENNIAL CENSUS PROGRAMS

The U.S. Census Bureau is accepting cases for the 2020 Post-Census Group Quarters Review (PCGQR) between June X, 2022, and June 30, 2023.

The 2020 PCGQR provides a mechanism for governmental units in the United States and Puerto Rico, or their designated representatives, to request that the Census Bureau review their population counts for group quarters in a block they believe were undercounted on April 1, 2020. If the review process finds errors in these population counts, the errors will be corrected, and the revised group quarters population will be provided to the Population Estimates Program for incorporation into the base population for upcoming vintages of estimates and will be included in the next possible population base as the production schedule allows. The estimates developed from the updated population base will also be used by the American Community Survey and the Puerto Rico Community Survey. Governmental units include tribal, state, and local officials or their designated representatives.

Please note that the 2020 PCGQR does not collect new data or conduct a recount for the 2020 Census. For example, 2020 Census data products and counts delivered to the President for apportionment, or the 2020 Census Public Law 94-171 Redistricting Data Files and Geographic Products will not be updated as a result of the 2020 PCGQR.

Please refer to the attached 2020 PCGQR flyer for more information about this voluntary program. For further details, visit the 2020 PCGQR website at <website> as well as the Federal Register Notice, also available on the website.

If you have any questions about this email, please contact the 2020 PCGQR by phone at TBD or by email at <[email protected]>.

Sincerely,

Albert E. Fontenot, Jr.
