2020 Census Operational Quality Metrics: Release 2

The Census Bureau is taking a multifaceted approach to studying the quality of the 2020 Census.
2020 Census Quality Indicators 2

By Michael Bentley, Assistant Division Chief for Census Statistical Support, Decennial Statistical Studies Division

The first release of the operational quality metrics focused on how we resolved whether each address, including housing units and group quarters, was occupied, vacant, delete, or remained unresolved.

Today's second release focuses on occupied and vacant housing units and the household size of occupied units. Occupied housing units are living quarters, such as a house, apartment or mobile home, with at least one person living or staying there.

In today's release, we provide the metrics for single- and two-person households categorized by the census operation from which we obtained the response (such as from self-response, Nonresponse Followup, other census operations, or from count imputation), and the percentage of occupied and vacant housing units by census operation.
