True, however, the count was scheduled to be completed by December when they are set to deliver the apportioned numbers. That means the actual count would need to be completed by early November at the latest. When I was a C Level Exec in business we planned on just about nothing being completed between Mid-November to Mid-January due to holidays and all the activities around them. So I’m thinking planners, not mal-administration appointees, have a good schedule set. Yes, COVID has disrupted plans for the door to door but the actual number counted by that method has historically been low. So people don’t get your panties in a twist, just more distraction. As stated by the Bureau for 2010, about 3.3 percent were counted erroneously, I don’t see that even doubling that number would make much difference nationwide.
2010 numbers: The Census Bureau released estimates of the components of coverage: the number of correct census records, erroneous enumerations, and omissions.
The Census Bureau estimates that among the 300.7 million people who live in housing units, about 94.7 percent were counted correctly, about 3.3 percent were counted erroneously, 1.6 percent provided only a census count and had their demographic characteristics imputed, or statistically inserted, and 0.4 percent needed more extensive imputation after all census follow-up efforts were attempted. Among those erroneously counted, about 84.9 percent were duplicates, while the remainder were incorrectly counted for another reason, such as people who died before Census Day (April 1, 2010), who were born after Census Day or were fictitious census records.
The Census Bureau estimated 16.0 million omissions in the census. Omissions include people missed in the census and people whose census records could not be verified in the post-enumeration survey because they did not answer enough of the demographic characteristic questions in the census. Of the 16.0 million omissions, about 6.0 million were likely counted in the census but couldn’t be verified in the post-enumeration survey.
