PRB identifies factors predicting where children under age 5 are more likely to be missed in the 2020 Census and develops a new undercount risk measure for young children.
Report. Predicting Tract-Level Net Undercount Risk for Young Children (2020)
Our analysis focuses on the factors that are most closely associated with the net undercount of children in the census, based on the Census Bureau’s Revised 2018 Experimental Demographic Analysis Estimates.

The world population will reach 9.9 billion by 2050, up 2.3 billion or 29 percent from an estimated 7.6 billion people now, according to projections by Population Reference Bureau (PRB) included in the 2018 World Population Data Sheet.
The pace of U.S. population growth is slowing, according to the Census Bureau’s 2018 estimates and 2020 projections, which provide a preview of 2020 Census results.
The addition of a citizenship question to the 2020 Census may put almost one in 10 U.S. households and nearly 45 million people at greater risk of not being counted―the question has been shown to reduce response rates. Undercount risk is particularly high among young children.
