Census Bureau to Hold News Conference on Release of 2020 Census Redistricting Data The U.S. Census Bureau will hold a news conference to discuss the release of the first local level results from the 2020 Census. States use these data on race, Hispanic origin, and the voting-age population to redraw the boundaries of their congressional and state legislative districts. The news conference will provide initial analysis of the first local level results from the 2020 Census on population change, race, ethnicity, the age 18 and over population, and housing occupancy status. A live Q&A session with Census Bureau subject-matter experts will immediately follow the briefing for credentialed media who have RSVPed. When: Thursday, August 12, at 1 p.m. EDT Who: - Ron Jarmin, acting director, U.S. Census Bureau
- James Whitehorne, chief, Redistricting & Voting Rights Data Office, U.S. Census Bureau
- Nicholas Jones, director and senior advisor of Race and Ethnic Research and Outreach, Population Division, U.S. Census Bureau
- Marc Perry, senior demographer, Population Division, U.S. Census Bureau
- Michael C. Cook, Sr., chief, Public Information Office, U.S. Census Bureau (moderator)
Access: The news briefing can be viewed on the Census Bureau's Census Live page. Dial-in information for accredited media to ask questions will be provided upon RSVP. More Redistricting Resources Timeline for Additional 2020 Census Operational Quality Metrics The Census Bureau will release the next two rounds of 2020 Census operational quality metrics this month. On Aug. 18, the Census Bureau will provide summary county- and tract-level information by state for a limited set of previously released operational quality metrics. The metrics will not be available for individual counties or tracts, but rather they provide the average rates (mean), median and standard deviations for the state's counties and tracts, respectively. On Aug. 25, the Census Bureau will provide item nonresponse rates for the population count, age or date of birth, race, and Hispanic origin questions. These rates will be available for the nation, 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. The Census Bureau will discuss each release in blog posts. |
