The purpose of the 2020 Census CQR is to provide a mechanism for governmental units (GUs) to request a review of their official 2020 Census results. The 2020 Census CQR is the final operation by which updates to the 2020 Census data can be made. Tribal chairpersons and the highest elected officials (or their representative) from state and local governments in the United States and Puerto Rico can submit a CQR case to request review of the official 2020 Census counts of population and housing, and to correct boundary, geocoding, and certain coverage issues. The U.S. Census Bureau will review requests from the highest elected or appointed officials of tribal, state, and local governmental units for corrections to their 2020 Census count between January 3, 2022 and June 30, 2023. The Census Bureau terms these requests for review a “case.” The 2020 Census CQR includes boundary and/or housing count cases. Boundary cases request a Census Bureau review of legal boundaries in effect as of January 1, 2020, and the associated addresses affected by the boundaries identified in the inquiry. Housing count cases request a Census Bureau review of the geographic location of housing within 2020 tabulation blocks specified in the eligible governmental unit’s inquiry, as well as a review of the census records to determine whether census processing error(s) excluded valid housing and associated population data. A case for a governmental unit can include both boundary and housing count related requests for review. The Census Bureau will make all corrections to counts based on appropriate documentation provided by the questioning governmental unit(s) and based on research of census records. The Census Bureau will respond to all cases and will notify all affected governmental units of any corrections to their official counts because of a CQR decision. Corrections made by this operation will result in the issuance of new, official 2020 Census counts for use in future programs requiring official 2020 Census data and in annual postcensal population estimates released for the years after a decennial census. No new Census information products will be created by the 2020 Census CQR. This includes no revisions to 2020 Census information products such as the apportionment counts delivered to the President for apportionment or the 2020 Census Public Law 94-171 Redistricting Data Files and Geographic Products.
