Today, we'll continue to talk about some of the less visible work that is no less essential to producing quality census results — the people doing the number crunching and poring over trends, maps and outliers to make sure that the raw data on our population become quality statistics. For the 2020 Census, we are conducting one of the most comprehensive reviews in recent census history. Through this review we have identified and fixed data processing issues, made efforts to correct for data collection issues, and have started to develop an understanding of how the nation's population has changed over the last decade.
