The 2020 census undercounted Black people, Hispanics and Native Americans while overcounting white and Asian people, according to a Census Bureau report
Census Bureau Director Robert Santos noted the 2020 undercounts reflect “limitations" in the decennial tally.
In a statement, Census Bureau Director Rob Santos noted that the quality of the total population count was on par with recent censuses, though the under- and overcounts present “limitations.” The data released Thursday was the result of two analyses, both conducted by the Census Bureau, that collected data through a sample survey or demographic records. The findings suggested the 2020 census missed Hispanic and Latinos at three times the rate as in 2010 .
