Understanding the Quality of the 2020 Census is Essential
Column Editor's note: In this Effective Policy Learning article, John Thompson, former Director of the U.S. Census Bureau, explains that understanding and measuring the quality of the U.S. Census of Population and Housing, conducted every 10 years, is a complex undertaking. The 2020 Census has been particularly difficult due to the COVID-19 pandemic and unprecedented political interference into this scientific, statistical activity. He explores the reasoning behind the recommendations of the Census Quality Indicators Task Force of the American Statistical Association on both quality indicators and next steps for independently measuring the quality of the 2020 Census.
