Random Samplings Blog: 2020 Census Group Quarters

2020 Census Group Quarters Written by Deborah Stempowski, assistant director for Decennial Census Programs, Operations and Schedule Management, and James Christy, assistant director for Field Operations As we continue processing 2020 Census results, we'd like to provide more information on how we count people living in group quarters (GQs), such as nursing homes, military barracks and college/university student housing. We faced particular challenges in this operation related to the COVID-19 pandemic and had to make adjustments as the 2020 Census progressed last year. We have briefly described some of the changes we made and anomalies we've found in earlier blogs. Today we'll share more details on how we typically count people living in group quarters, what we did to adapt data collection and how we're resolving some data processing issues.
