Today: Census Bureau Begins Accepting Cases to 2020 Post-Census Group Quarters Review Operation Last week, we began mailing approximately 40,000 eligible governmental units at the tribal, state and local levels about participating in the 2020 Post-Census Group Quarters Review (PCGQR) operation. The 2020 PCGQR is a new, one-time operation that gives governmental units or their representatives the opportunity to ask the Census Bureau to review their 2020 Census group quarters population counts for group quarters facilities in blocks they believe were undercounted. Group quarters include such places as college/university student housing, residential treatment centers, nursing/skilled-nursing facilities, group homes, correctional facilities, and workers' group living quarters and job corps centers. Governments that would like to request a review of group quarters population counts for a group quarter facility within a certain block can submit their cases starting today, June 6, through June 30, 2023, via the Secure Web Incoming Module (SWIM).
