RE: 2020 Census CQR Case Number <CaseID#>

Dear <Position> <Last Name>:

As part of the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 Census Count Question Resolution operation (CQR), <case-submitting GU Name>, <State Name> questioned their 2020 Census housing counts. The 2020 Census CQR accepts requests (i.e., cases) from tribal, state, and local officials or their designated representatives in the United States and Puerto Rico to review the official 2020 Census records used to create their housing and population counts. Information regarding the 2020 Census CQR is available online at <www.census.gov/programs-surveys/decennial-census/decade/2020/planning-management/evaluate/cqr.html>.

We reviewed the documentation that <case-submitting GU Name>, <State Name> provided in conjunction with the official 2020 Census records as part of our research to resolve their case. Our research found an error(s) that affects your counts as well. This letter, and its enclosure, serve as the official determination from our research. <Case-submitting GU Name> will receive a courtesy copy (CC) of this communication.

Enclosed are your revised housing and population counts in the form of an official statement and a detailed table. If you have questions about this letter or the enclosure, please contact the Census Bureau’s CQR Help Desk by phone at 1-(888) 369-3617 or by email at <dcmd.2020.cqr.submissions@census.gov>. Please cite the 2020 Census CQR case number shown above in your communication.

Sincerely,

Ron S. Jarmin

Acting Director

FROM THE DIRECTOR

U.S. CENSUS BUREAU

This is an official statement of the revised 2020 Census counts of housing and population made through the 2020 Census CQR case number <CaseID#> for <case-submitting GU name>, <State Name>.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

According to the official records of the TWENTY-FOURTH DECENNIAL CENSUS OF THE UNITED STATES, on file at the U.S. Census Bureau, the following are the revised counts as of
April 1, 2020, for <GU name>, <State Name>:

Total Housing………………………<#>

Total Population……………….…<#>

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Because of the actions taken in the CQR case for <case submitting GU name>, the Census Bureau will include the revisions in the errata information available online from <www.census.gov/programs-surveys/decennial-census/decade/2020/planning-management/evaluate/cqr.html>. The Census Bureau will use the revisions to modify the decennial census file for use in annual postcensal estimates released for the years after the decennial census; however, the census counts used for congressional apportionment, legislative redistricting, and the 2020 Census data products will remain unchanged. See the enclosed table for a summary of the revisions. The table includes the original and revised counts of housing and population and the change calculated between the two.
